Hectic Days

 Days are flying by- as usual it seems. DD got a lovely CookBook for Christmas and has been dying to make the Coconut Ice for weeks now... the ingredients all bought but FINALLY we made it yesterday! Wow- real cocnut ice- a very different beast from bought stuff (not that I expected otherwise), very rich and not a cheap make but it may go onto the 'easy gifts to make' list.

Boys playing with Playmobil- a regular favourite. The dragon was protecting the pink castle from horse rustlers (dragons are definately 'goodies' in this house) and he has prisoners in the attic.......

Well I have lost DS1 for the weekend, Nanny has taken him to Whitby for a long weekend fossiling and staying in a YHA for the first time- so am trying to make the most of a mere two children. Made marmalade yesterday and plan chutney today.....
