So we've been back in the school routines for a week and as always, lovely sunny weather has returned as the kids go back. I'm not complaining.....
...I'm enjoying the warm sunshine, beautiful skies at night.....
and calm, sun filled mornings.
Although I have bought a jumper in anticipation of colder days on the horizon.
Seasonal russet apples, plums, home picked blackberries and delicious figs are high up on the list of 'must eats' at the moment and .....
......Friday's have become Waffle Night, using Sam's birthday waffle maker.
Such a treat and any spare get toasted in the morning, extra bonus.
Now the kids are back to school, in between enjoying the lovely weather and keeping up with orders, I've made good progress in the sitting room - the room is now ready for painting. All the wallpaper has been stripped off the walls and ceiling! Everything has been sanded down and washed with sugar soap ready for the carpet to come up at the weekend and then I can get started on the paint. The new door should be here soon and when or rather if, Jeff gets any free time, he'll start laying the floor which I'll eventually paint. I want to get this room ready for cosy autumn nights, The floor has to be ready for the end of October ready for the sofa delivery and the room will be ready for Christmas at the very latest.

Are waffle makers easy? I love waffles, but I don't know about a waffle maker. Aldi had a good one in a few weeks ago...
The jumper looks fab. I bet you've not worn it yet, though? The past couple of days have been too hot to move!
I got Sam one for his birthday as he went to a friends house, had waffles and liked them. It was from Amazon, just over £20 and it's so easy to use - it's a VonShef Belgian Waffle maker. I use a Jamie Oliver recipe, which when doubled makes 12 waffles and we toast any leftovers the following morning. It's just like a thick pancake batter, ladle on and close the lid and 6 mins later - waffles. We love it! Angel Jem
