Hi everyone
Been to the library, got ingredients for peaches and cream cupcakes (someone got a new cookbook! Hummingbird bakery mmmm) and sausages for toad in the hole for dinner. Baking day tomorrow, as well as more studying.
Cleaned my walking boots from yesterday, tidied up a few bits and pieces, and booked train tickets for going home for the planting of Dad's tree at the cemetery in Feb.

Love to everyone
