Hopefully no one will find me

Puffin were book publishers, children's I think. And they had the Puffin Club to encourage you to read.

Puffins, what fun!! We saw a few when we went to Westray in 2001...DS1 got within 2 feet of a pair!!! Must look out piccies...pre-digital camera, so in a box/bag somewhere!

Got three loads of washing done this morning, as well as a some bread on the go (4 loaves in the oven as I type!), also baked a tray of choc & beetroot brownies, as well some choc-fudge icing. I will spread some on some of the brownie slab, a good father's day cake for DH...and us!! :rotfl: Done loads of washing up, so my hands are all wrinkly now..now where's my handcream??!

Will head off into the garden soon, once the bread is out. Not beforehand as it's easy to forget the time, and end up with burnt bricks!! We have NO bread left, nor any bread flour or yeast...so it's the last batch until a shopping trip for supplies is made!! I could rustle up some soda bread if we get really stuck!!

Having a nice tea for DH tonight...roast beef and yorkshire puddings (pop-overs my family calls them!), with lots of lovely veg...mmmmmm.

Enjoy the rest of the day..the sun is even making an appearance now...the best weather of the weekend for us!
