Chilly

Today is bleak. Wind , rain and sleet. Just perfect for staying indoors. I do love a nice misty day though. Everything seems quiet and peaceful. I have spent a little time today looking at seed catalogues. Even if I don't order any seeds this year, the catalogues with their tempting pictures are a nice reminder that the new growing season is on its way. It will be here soon enough and this lovely cool winter will be a memory.

I have been keeping records for a little while now and this winter is the coolest we have had for a few years. Many frosty mornings and low temperatures generally. It is just how winter should be for these parts.

When it is cold, it is nice to eat cake. I made this Pink Velvet cake on Saturday. It was delicious. It took us a couple of days but we managed to finish it off. It isn't overly sweet which I like and has the most luscious frosting with marscapone, cream cheese and icing sugar. A little goes a long way.

For those who commented on my 200th post. Thank you. I have the giveaway sorted ready to be sent soon.

Take care,

Tracy
