Scones Revisited

It's been a while since I added a scone and/or baking related photo!

Favourite Charity Shop Finds

On Monday I made my first charity shop purchase for almost 18 months - found some computer games in the Cancer Research charity shop on Union Street - only ended up being a total of £1 for all five!

It was great to catch up and even better that her son Apollo was there. Apollo is good looking, prefers standing up and smiles and laughs alot. I think

What was your weekend highlight?
