Half-Birthday Celebrations

I love birthdays and because they only come round once a year, I like to celebrate half-birthdays as well.  Why not?

Yesterday was my half-birthday, so I made myself some yummy scones.


But that leads to the difficult decision of which flavour jam do I want.


The apricot is irresistible - it's made in Sheffield, Grace bought it for me in her local market.  It's so fruity - I'll be ordering some more from her.  I also have a weakness for plum jam.


Perfect.  Now what other little treats can I give myself?

How about trying some machine embroidery?  Why not?  I'll let you know how I get on.

  1. Happy half birthday, your scones look delicious. I am rather partial to strawberry jam.

  2. Hi Janet, Ha ha Happy half birthday-umm love a scone with jam and CREAM!!, bit of an indulgence I admit.
    Your photos of the bike race are brilliant, Liverpool is stunning, what a showcase for your wonderful city, it does reflect that you are all proud of the city and the hard work investing in the dock area and Liverpool one-immaculate.
    I was also impressed with the water features that the little people can play in on a summery day, fun indeed.
    Look forward to the machine embroidery project.
