Yes Summer was fun but I love dark,early nights when we can shut the curtains and get cosy under a blanket, after a day of Autumn walks and baking and doing, nesting for Winter.
Strictly and Downton are back on telly and I've dusted off my cross stitch - what's not to like.
We have been very busy recently hence the break in transmission, I've been working over time at school and we have been getting the house ship shape as it's going back on the market in the next few weeks.
Honestly compared to the horrors of our old lottie, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
We had a trip to sunny Bridlington last weekend - you can't beat September sun and although I went in the sea, even I thought it too cold to swim, so Winter must be coming - you know me, paddling in February !!
I'm a great believer in all things come to those who wait and I've been after a cake stand for 2 years.
It had to be sturdy and not £30 - it's only a cake stand for goodness sake.
Anyhoo, I popped into Sainsburys last week for some medicine for Twiglet and saw this beauty, A red Mason Cash cake stand reduced by 70% to £4.80 !! Hooray!!
As you can see, I then had to get my Mary Berry book out and make a HUGE cake, which was very tasty indeed - though not elegant, admittedly.

I am thoroughly enjoying The Great British Bake Off this year, are you watching?
Like Mother, like Son, I have passed my drawing faces on vegetables baton to Twiglet, it's a home grown one too - fab!!
Right the breadmaker is on, I have 2 carrier bags of cooking apples to peel and bake, our tiny freezer is stocked up with frozen blackberries, apples and beans!!
Have a lovely weekend
Twiggy xx
PS don't forget Strictly today - I howled with laughter last week watching Dave Myers what a bobby dazzler!!
It's good to catch up with what's been going on Twiggy, I miss your posts when there is a gap. I'm pleased you had a good summer and that you are enjoying Autumn even if life is busy. Your Lottie looks like it has given you lots of yummy goodness this year and I love Twiglets pumpkin face
