And in the Evening...

Husband E received this painting from us to 'mark' his birthday (ie I liked the painting very much!). The painting was done by a father at our local school, frame from IKEA.


The colourful candle was made by 5 year old daughter. Everything looks better in candlelight.




Eating by candlelight really helps to make the meal much more enjoyable.




Success. Every year for husband E's birthday, I recreate his favourite pudding which his mother often made. It is a short crust pastry, filled with sweetened apples and then a syrup is poured over the whole lot. Once baked, the pastry is crunchy in parts and caramelised in others. It is delicious.

I totally agree everything looks, and feels, better in candlelight.

The apple dessert sounds delicious!
