I’ve spent this morning at Amy’s sport’s day. There were a couple of torrential downpours that had everyone running for the cover of the trees but luckily the weather was mostly dry and good enough for the kids to have fun and for us all to enjoy a family picnic afterwards (I hid when it was time for the mum’s race and so was spared the indignity of coming last!!).
I wasn’t quite so lucky on the walk home and got absolutely soaked but once I got through the door I was cheered up as I found this waiting for me! Off now to make a cup of tea and immerse myself in fudgey loveliness – Thanks to Simmy for the wonderful home-made treat!

Ooh fudge! Real fudge it looks like too, not the mushy stuff we get around here.

Fudge is lovely! Shame about getting rained on on the way home – at least it held off til after the fun!

Hi – I came across your blog thru Raggy Rat and when I saw your photos, realised I’d seen them before when you commented (most kindly!) on my knitted broccoli on Flickr! Come visit my blog sometime – not much knitting at the moment, mostly jewellery and artwork. It’s http://www.uniqart.blogspot.com

I saw your pictures and was reminded of our “field days” when I was in grade school. So fun!

We had sports day yesterday too, had to dodge the rain, parents races cancelled due to bad weather (hooray – so I didn’t even have to hide!).
No fudge though…blogland is strange, I saw the ladys’ post about sending out her fudge to bloggy friends and now I have seen it arrive!

Oh you are so lucky, our sports day got cancelled right at the last minute due to a VERY heavy rain storm, quite impressive actually lots of thunder!!!
Once again I missed out on the shop, sadly I was actually in bed poorly and I looked at my clock and thought, I bet your mad busy!!!
You better gets those pins clacking, your following awaits…
Are you looking forward to the holidays, only two days to go…

Hi Julie! I’ve only just discovered your blog whilst googling “knitted cakes.” Yours are by far the best I’ve ever seen! Love the rest of your blog too. I also have a son on the autistic spectrum – not severe as he has Aspergers but it has certainly presented some challenges over the years. (He’s now 14) I’ve only recently dicovered this blogging world and have taken the plunge this week and started my own (very amateurish compared to yours and many others) so please look in some time.
