A lovely pinky red dahlia, its colour was so vibrant. Taken the other week.
I’m up to the eyes today sleeves rolled and sick of the sight of cakes and butter icing!
I’ve made 4 doz cup cakes, rocky road, ginger biscuits, trifle, corned beef slice, quonish pasties, cheese and tomato flan. I’ve yet to finish but nearly done, luckily hubbie has been a great help and I couldn’t have done it without him.
Tomorrow the family arrive it’s our annual get together to celebrate mams life. It’s 15 years now and still miss her as if it was yesterday. There will be at least 14 of us and maybe more, each one brings something home cooked and we spend the afternoon catching up. Mam would love that we still do this and I’m sure she is here in spirit wandering around enjoying the day, she loved gatherings like this.
Better on black
Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.
Gorgeous. It's nice how you gather each year. My family seems too far flung to do this. A shame that you are doing all the baking but I'm betting they are recipes your mother used.
Beautiful Dalia’s. How nice you still get together. I’m sure your mum enjoys it too and all the others who have passed. Don’t over work yourself and not be able to enjoy everyone.
