Scenes from this week and Tiffin

Although still very cold, especially in the mornings, the weather has been lovely. One evening earlier this week we had the most amazing dappled red sky.

The next day we walked around the lake at Trentham and the sky was so blue and the sun was warm on our backs as we strolled along the lakeside path.

Finally I managed to make something for Simone's Friday cake bake. Not so much a cake bake, more a melt, mix and refrigerate cake. The recipe for Tiffin is from the April issue of Sainsbury's magazine. Just melted butter, chocolate and golden syrup with broken digestive biscuits, dried fruit and nuts mixed in. Place in a small loaf tin and refrigerate until set, dust in cocoa powder and slice.

It's very rich, sticky and tasty!
