Cacha and Sid made lemon drizzle cupcakes.

They haven't turned out bad at all, considering we only had plain flour (I just whacked an unspecified amount of baking powder into the flour) and we didn't beat the eggs and sugar separately. Just chucked all the ingredients in a bowl and whisked by hand.

And the kitchen's tidy too!

Totally forgot to take a photo before we finished

Totally forgot to take a photo before we finished the million pancakes but our choices of filing were:

Red berries; cinnamon apple; fresh pear; lemon juice; raspberry coulis; honey; golden syrup and sugar.

Delish!

I've finally got the first 2 squarefoot grids in place. It's taken me almost a month to get this far.

There are another 3 beds (one of 16 squares and 2 of 8 squares each) that still need finishing off, but I'm chuffed to bits to have got this far.

With reduced mobility and a hand that's awaiting surgery, this has been a hard slog, and very painful at times, but I'll be reaping the rewards for a long time to come, I hope.

Finally, I worked out how to get food from the slow cooker into freezer bags without getting it all over the bag! I know, I know, I'm a slow learner 🤣 8 portions of roasted vegetable masala note in the freezer.

The "little two" (8 and 10 but still the babies in my head) made cookies. I just did the oven bit.

I made myself a promise that this year I would cook the food I like,v even though the kids don't like it, so I'll be cooking it just for me. They can have the food they like, and I'll make the effort to cook from scratch for me.

It's going well so far and tonight I made roasted vegetable masala (and the sauce didn't come from a jar!).

It was delicious.

Hard at work over the last week, I've finally got three of the raised beds in place and ready to fill. The garden slopes in two directions so lots of leveling was needed, as well as clearing all the gravel from each area and cutting away the weed membrane. Two more to do.

I found a scroll of silver birch bark on the floor of Sherwood Forest. Thanks to @notenoughgin for picking it up - I was too cold and stiff to bend down by that point!
