We decorated it with peaches and whipped fresh cream. It tasted great, we really enjoyed it.

 

Hope you try this amazing recipe.

Biscuits And Scones

Baking is one of my favourite pastimes and I am usually begging for some time in the kitchen. Recently I've baked something I love making time and time again, scones. It's from an amazing recipe on BBC Goodfood (link) and it's delicious. However, every time I've made them the scone batter does tend to get a bit sticky at the end so before you start shaping the scones put some flour in them. The recipe says to make eight scones but I've found that sixteen works just as well, plus you can serve more people them.

But scones are not the only thing that I've recently baked. I just got an amazing book jam-packed with delicious biscuit recipes.

                                          

 I've only tried out a few so far but they are amazing.

DIY BBQ

We have had unseasonably great weather these past few days and when my dad surprised us by taking an afternoon off work we decided to have a barbecue which we cobbled together with some bricks that were lying spare in our garden. Setting it up was fun and simple. We all took a splint and lit the fire and within minutes the was a roaring blaze.

The smoke must have made the wasps and bees in our garden crazy, because they soon all started to swarm all around us. One actually stung Nuha which made her scream, and because we didn't see what happened and she wasn't saying anything that we could make sense of, we thought she'd hurt herself on the flames. Once the smoke had lessened a bit, most of them drifted away. We invited our cousin's and played and had a delicious barbecue dinner together. The fire kept going for ages after-it was best when it started getting dark. I hope we do this again soon!
