So often I rush around when I do things whether it's cooking, cleaning, working, reading or surfing the internet. So this afternoon for once I slowed down and enjoyed cooking. It started with the Tesco delivery- no bread. So I got out the granary flour & yeast and got on with making bread. I have to confess to using my Kenwood Chef for the kneading but it was still nice to make something so easily bought in the shop from scratch. Bread is something you can't rush, it has to be left to rise twice, and then baked, filling the kitchen with a lovely smell in the process.
And I made a lovely rhubarb & Bramley apple crumble; the fruit was picked up from the farm shop earlier this afternoon.
After gently stewing the fruit, I topped it with oats, flour, sugar and butter that had been rubbed together by hand (no gadgets this time).
Baked in the oven for 30 minutes and topped with homemade custard. Perfect.
I'm really pleased with how they came out. The fonts were Albermarle Swash and Little Lord Fauntleroy (can't find a link to it at the moment!).

I'll be back soon hopefully!
Hope everyone had a lovely Easter break. It was so nice to have four whole days of relaxing. I managed to get our invitation wording and layout done and finished my tiara. I'm still not sure about wearing a tiara but at least I have the option. I'll post photos on crafty bride soon.
I'd never even eaten it before, let alone baked it but it was very easy to make. I used this recipe from Waitrose.
Love the effect but it's not the look I'm after.
I really like this one, it's a contender!
I like this one a lot, it could be the winner!
Will blog again soon, I promise!
