As my toe is still hurting (yes Beattie when you stepped on it the other day!) I have decided to try and rest my foot and have strapped said toe to the next digit as a natural splint.  So I have spent the day baking honey cakes and strudel biscuits and experimenting with the chocolate chip cookie recipe using wholemeal instead of white flour.

Outside Jeremy has been rearranging plants, sowing seeds and bringing pots of daffodils to the front door.  Welcome springtime gifts.  Next he is going to prune the blackcurrant bushes and the gooseberries.
