I've ordered a codling moth thingy to see if that will help. If I do have fruit this year (you never know), it might help to keep them good and wholesome inside. It is worth a try anyway.
The seeds and the salt crystals on top mostly fell off when I cut it so I won't do that again. Maybe I will add seeds to the dough next time but that won't be for a few weeks or so now.
Not as bubbly inside as the previous one but still a great crumb and the taste - mmmmmm, so delicious!
Definitely a success.
I have Groove this morning. Chris can't come today so, as it's a full morning, I will take the car. I have to drop into Morrisons chemists on the way back and then I'm taking the bus into town to see if they can be doing anything with the low level feedback I am getting from one of my aids.
Once home again (I will have a little shop wander because why not?), there's housework to do and washing to sort out. Just a usual day, really.
It has been a pleasant weekend, for sure. It was great to play around with the crochet and to create delicious stuff in the kitchen. I do like going out and about but I also love staying at home and being domestically creative. Simple pleasures are the best.
Have a lovely day, everyone. Stay warm and dry. xx
It's a good year for blossom this year isn't it, our little apple trees is looking absolutely beautiful. We forgot to put the grease band on our apple tree in Autumn so I hope the fruits will be okay, I need to get a moth trap too ... it's a good excuse to visit the garden centre. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is. Goodness knows if they will grow into fruit but we can hope. Fingers crossed - for all of us with fruit trees.
DeleteEnjoy the garden centre! xx
We have masses of blossom on our fruit trees. So beautiful and I hope the fruit follows!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be great but, if it doesn't, we have still had the beauty of the blossom. xx
DeleteI have been a follower of your blog for sometime now but have never left a comment before.We have apple trees on our allotment plots here in the East Midlands and many years ago we tried those Pheramone traps but we never had any luck with them and in the end they disintegrated in the sunshine.After last years terrible crop due to Codling Moth I have hung up feeders full of peanuts and fat balls which the birds love and I am hoping they spot the bugs as they make their way up the tree trunks.Hope you have success with your trap.Wendy
ReplyDeleteHi, Wendy, lovely to hear from you.
DeleteThat sounds a very good idea - fingers crossed it works.
All we can do is try. :-) xx
Your apple blossom is looking lovely- hopefully that will give you some delicious fruit later in the year.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have been having lots of fun baking lately with hot cross buns , crumpets and focaccia.
Hope you manage to get those hearing aids sorted quickly and that the rest of the week is a good one for you x
Thanks very much. I really have been having fun in a quiet sort of way and I think the aids are OK now. Here's hoping . . . xx
DeleteYour apple blossoms look lovely. I am hoping the snow we got today does not stop our cherries or pear from blossoming. I hope you can get rid of the feedback.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
More snow - oh, no! Hopefully, not too heavy and thawing. xx
DeleteThe apple blossom looks lovely. We're just starting to get the first of the blossom here. It seems to take forever to come and it's over too soon! The focaccia looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. It's tasty!
DeleteBlossom time is so lovely. I live just off a main roast through the estate and there's blossom on all the roadside trees at the moment. It looks stunning! xx
I wasn't ready for real life to start again ;)
ReplyDeleteI understand. Yesterday was a half and half for me. :-) xx
