My sister and I cooked for our mother at my house. We had a fun night with dinner and white wine spritzers. My sister made a beetroot and chocolate cake. It was delicious! You couldn't taste the beetroot exactly but there was this extra dimension somehow. I think it added the moisture. Recipe here.
I bought a bike! A 1970's Raleigh made in Nottingham. I bought it on Ebay and a friend of mine was nice enough to give me a lift in his van to get it. It is in very good condition. The saddle is a leather Brooks. I cleaned the chain and gears with a toothbrush and oiled it. I may eventually end up selling it on as I like the more upright style but I will have to see how I go. It depends if I can raise the handle bars a little more.
This is the Mother's Day card I made. I had these little plastic flowers which I poked through and taped the stems on the other side.
Such a nice weekend. I have that blustery outsidey feeling from having been outdoors so much.
that's a kickin bike!
