Much as I love our little population of sparrows (which has grown steadily since we moved here), they are just brown
and the male blackbirds are just black
so you can imagine my delight when I saw these wonderfully bright birds in Australia
some of this afternoon's cakes at patch'n'chat were rather brightly coloured - a selection of cupcakes, which Katy and Sheila brought
brown may be somewhat boring for birds, but, oh my, it is a wonderful colour for cakes! First, a toffee and pecan cheesecake (that's what I chose)
and Cathy's chocolate cake - she asked us to guess the secret ingredient, which none of us did (it was Coke!)
we are staying at home again this weekend, so I will be busy in the studio, not only sewing, but also working on a few things for the Craft Fair in Jedburgh (help, it's in two weeks time!!). We are hoping that the weather will be good enough on Sunday for us to go for a walk (and possibly for some sconnage!). Whatever the weather, I hope you have a good weekend, love Anne
