What a great weekend. Ds 11 yrs and I had entered the Berwick Show and we had some success and lots of fun. :-) Ds entered a chocolate cake and came 3rd in his class and he also entered a model he assembled and painted and this also won third.

I entered a marble cake and the loaf of bread catagory with a spiral herb loaf. My loaf of bread won first prize. Admittedly, I don't think there was a lot of competition but I'm going to enjoy the win regardless. Pictured below is one of the practice loaves I made and the family ended up enjoying.  My marble cake was a bit of a disaster so no expectations there. Mind you the practice one I made and the family ate was pretty good. I'll have another go next year.

Well back to books. I've started at University and I need to read my text book and the articles I've retrieved so I can start to write up my first assignment. I've also got a fair bit left of my book club book to read and we are meeting on Wednesday night. We are reading "Birds Without Wings" by Louis de Bernieres. I was struggling with it at first but I've started to get drawn in by the story so ......back to the books.
