This Weekend at the Duckpond

We have mostly been...

 

 

Racking - our brains for answers to the questions at a quiz night on Friday evening. Between me and Andrew and his mum and dad, we came a fairly middling 7th out of 13th teams. Not too shabby, methinks.

 

 

 

 

 

Baking - a chocolate and orange cake. It's called Jaffa Drizzle Loaf and the recipe is over on BBC Good Food's website. No reason really (do you need a reason to bake cake!?) - perhaps just the fact it was the weekend :-)

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoying - a spot of lunch at Farringtons Farm Shop and an ice cream for afterwards with (see the next one...)

 

 

 

 

 

Meeting - the fabulous Katie and her lovely other half Tom for lunch. Katie blogs over at Hook Line and Sink Her and if you don't already follow her, you really should - she's very funny and always makes me smile (and she's just as cool in real life too). When Katie mentioned they were having a little trip over towards Bath, I suggested meeting up for a cuppa which turned into a lovely lunchtime get-together at Farringtons.
Thanks Katie (and Tom) for the company!

 

Full credit goes to Katie for taking the picture, thanks Katie!

 

 

 

 

Exhibiting - Andrew's lorry at our local heritage railway station's annual Midsummer event. They certainly picked a good weekend for it!

 

 

 

 

 

Participating - in Jane's (from over at Is That You Darling) photo an hour challenge for June. This month we all snapped a Sunday - pictures will be up tomorrow.

 

 

 

Discovering - the first few almost-ripe strawberries in our garden.

 

 

 

What did you get up to at the weekend?
Hope you all had a chance to enjoy the stunning weather!
