World Book Day and Welsh Cakes

I love World Book day so much. Making is obviously my thing and so I know that I don't get the feeling of dread that fills some parents (for me that will happen with any maths/science/sport related school projects that require help!) but I just think its so wonderful the way that the children all get so enthusiastic about what character they are and what they'll be wearing for that part.

Valentine's Biscuits and Books

I didn't actually take that many what with being so involved in the whole day - I'm itching to see the official ones! But also I do sometimes think that the adage is true that when you're having a really good time you don't stop to take pictures.

A Lovely Cup of Tea

It's such a cliche but a cup of tea solves everything doesn't it?! I've been trying to eat a little more healthily lately and so I've been trying to make tea my treat in the daytime, rather than doughnuts or some other deliciously sweet and sugary snack.
