Jubilation Came My Way!!

A little while ago I entered a competition that our exquisite Margot had running on her blog @ Coffee & Vanilla. I would have posted this news much earlier had it not been for my recent ongoing back impediment, my apologies Margot.

To enter the competition one had to guess what the item in the picture was and send an email into Margot with the answer. I thought the answer maybe juniper berries and entered not really thinking I had any chance of winning. I couldn’t believe my eyes when an email came through from Margot to congratulate me on my win!!
The prize up for grabs was not one but TWO cookbooks – WOW - Traditional Puddings and Desserts and Supper for Friends By Mary Berry published by DK (Dorling Kindersley Books) who were Margot’s sponsors for this prize. My many thanks go to Margot and also to DK for providing such a lovely prize.


I am slowly recovering once again with my back condition and will hopefully be bringing you some bakes for Easter to view and perhaps recreate. I will also be visiting my friends in the blogosphere shortly to view your wonderful creations!

My best wishes to you all my friends for all your very kind words which I really have appreciated and valued!
