Plus we do have an old wood step stool to sit on, but not while baking because you cannot open the cupboard doors as it has to be moved. So can visualize you sitting on the draining board. The cheese scones look delicious. And I do hope that things are moving in the right direction for you. Also I hope you get some rain. I am visiting my sister in Aug and Sept and England should look green not brown. We get extremely hot, humid summers here, but many days end in huge thunder storms, so lots of rain. Take care.Lilbitbrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477302589982766792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-34895098025425075252018-07-17T23:06:24.338+01:002018-07-17T23:06:24.338+01:00Hey Gretel - I haven't been looking at blogs f...Hey Gretel - I haven't been looking at blogs for ages so I've only just spotted that you've been having a tough time.

I might consider having a go at baking a cake but it would have to be for a visitor rather than just me. I am quite busy most of the time; I write a lot of stories as well as the blog so I keep busy.

Hi Joe!<br /><br />I've taught granddaughters to bake, and it is a lot of fun, and a big mess. But what a companionable occupation it is to be in the kitchen together.<br /><br />I have missed your blog, and am looking forward to keeping up with all you do. <br /><br />Sending love and hugs to you both.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-29501339452969331202018-05-04T12:42:20.896+01:002018-05-04T12:42:20.896+01:00This is so much fun!

I think my guy would take well to baking and cooking too, and it's great advice to remind yourself to stand back. As the oldest of a big family I can be a bit bossy and here-I'll-just-do-it which isn't a great environment for learning, lol!<br /><br />I hope you get your good news, and I'm glad you're going to keep blogging. I love hearing about your life, even when you're having a tough time. You are certainly not alone in your journey to the darker places. Sending lots of good wishes to both of you. xAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944788955150864371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-25053768223393351582018-05-03T18:58:32.025+01:002018-05-03T18:58:32.025+01:00Hiya Joe... just had to come back for a second loo...Hiya Joe... just had to come back for a second look at the delicious scones...what a great job you did with those babies.

We made icing and messed around with piping flowers and borders on cupcakes. But, then we had a LOT of cupcakes to pass around and eat. Ugh. I like to bake, but believe it or not, I don't like to eat it all. I know...weird.<br /><br />Glad to see you are still blogging. :)Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-27726546576628894692018-05-01T15:06:26.640+01:002018-05-01T15:06:26.640+01:00Since my son asked me to write up my recipes for h...Since my son asked me to write up my recipes for him and his girlfriend last year I have got the urge to get back in the kitchen and bake again. Trouble being I rather like my baking too much and my waistline is slowly but surely expanding. Still I thought it was a lovely thing for him to ask me to do I just wish they lived nearer so they could help me out with the eating. <br /><br />MitziLazy Days & Sundayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981937294479619947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-83678274779582947352018-05-01T14:08:47.263+01:002018-05-01T14:08:47.263+01:00Yummmm, out of all those, the cheese scones made m...Yummmm, out of all those, the cheese scones made me almost get up and rush into the kitchen and start baking. Sounds so delicious! I did have other plans for the day, now I think they'll have to wait while I pull out the flour and start baking.
