Another reason why I love this time of year – apples from our neighbours tree (gifted, not scrumped) for an autumnal apple and cinnamon pie. Perfect for warming the cockles after a wet and windy Remembrance Day parade with Amy’s Brownie pack.

Enjoy what’s left of the weekend.

PS: scrump, Verb. Brit dialect to steal (apples) from an orchard or garden [variant of scrimp]

Amy has been a bit deflated this week (probably after all the excitement of last weekend’s ballet show) and so yesterday I thought I’d make her something nice to cheer her up.

The trouble is that of the nine I made only these two ended up looking like roses. Still, maybe that means that I get to eat the rest!

Hope you have a good weekend. I’m being brave and taking Toby to visit a special needs club. If it goes well it could become a permanent fixture of our weekend – though I am having butterflies at the thought of leaving him, so then again maybe not!
