Part of a lovely garden
we passed this week.
I love the way they are grazing together :)
This photo was taken a while ago. Sadly when we passed by the field earlier this week, they were gone.
We will miss seeing them on our walks.
Such a long lasting plant ( Kalanchoe ) really brightens acorner outside.
It had previously been inside in the kitchen
where it was enjoyed for quite a few months.
The pinecones were picked straight from a fallen branch
on one of our walks.
I picked them with the purpose of putting them in a bowl
for decoration, but after seeing some little insects on them kept
them outside :)
Custard was a little thicker than usual but just as tasty.
I mixed some chopped dates with the berries and bananas then
sprinkled a bit of brown sugar on top.The Crumble topping is made from wholemeal flour, oats, sunflower oil , honey, ground almonds, and cinnamon.
The Custard is made from all natural Custard powder, raw cane sugar
and full fat milk.
I enjoyed seeing some of the things you pass by on your walks. We pass horses on our walks...along with chickens, ducks, guineas and an occasional cat or two.
ReplyDeleteYour crumble looks really good. When you speak of wholemeal would that be something comparable to our whole wheat flour? I have a couple of Paul Hollywood's baking books and there are a few that also call for wholemeal.
I hope you have a lovely weekend, Fiona. I'm so glad to have "met" you.
Hello Dianna,
DeleteI am so glad to have "met" you too x
I would enjoy seeing the Horses,your walks
sound lovely.
The crumble was good, I made it yesterday and
we have just finished it today.Yes it would
be comparable to your Whole Wheat flour.
Take care x
Thank you, Fiona, for answering my question. I appreciate it so much. xx
DeleteYou are very welcome Dianna xx
DeleteSo sad that the sheep have gone, I always like to see animals on my walks. It will be conker time soon, perhaps you can find some to mix with your pinecones to make a little outdoor display.
ReplyDeleteHello Jo,
DeleteYes it is,they have been there for a long time,some of them were quite unusual breeds as well which was nice to see.
The photos I have shown on posts only show a few of them
but there were actually about twenty of them in the field.
What a great idea about the conkers,that will look really
lovely.Thank you for your suggestion :)
Hope you are having a lovely weekend x
Hello, lovely Fiona! Such beautiful pictures you have shared with us! I so enjoyed seeing the sheep. There is a pasture nearby and I always enjoy seeing the sheep that graze there. It is indeed sad when the leave.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a most wonderful Saturday! I am off to clean my china hutch. My tea cups and dishes have lost their sparkle so it's time to clean the dust off {{smiles}} Hugs to you!
Hello Stephanie,
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the photos I was pleased with the
way they turned out. The sheep were lovely to look
at,glad you have some nearby that you can enjoy.
Thank you I am having a good Saturday.
It will feel good to have your China sparkling again:)
I was doing a similar task with my Granny's tea set last
week which was in a cupboard and have started to use it.
I was keeping it for special but every day is Special.
Hugs to you too,
Take Care x
The crumble looks delicious
ReplyDeleteThank You, it was.
DeleteSuch lovely randomness!
ReplyDeleteI love crumbles, and it's wonderful how you can add just about anything to them. I've never had it with custard...something I should try. :)
Hello Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteHappy you liked my post:)
You are right, there are so many combinations that just
seem to work. I hope you do try custard with your
crumble, I love it especially in the colder months.
Hope you have had a lovely weekend x
Fiona, I don't see a way to follow your posts, but am happy to visit today. Your walks are so lovely. And the sheep...I never see them enough! Your dessert looks wonderful! Wishing you lovely days and more beautiful walks. xo ♥
ReplyDeleteHello Martha Ellen,
ReplyDeleteSorry I cannot help with how to follow.
It is possible because I do have followers.
I will look into it.
Thank you for the lovely compliments:)
The sheep are special!
Wishing the same for you xo๐
The Kalanchoe plant is so pretty, and what a striking color. Mixed Berry and Banana Crumble with Homemade Custard...looks Yummy!

Random posts are my favorite. I usually do a post every now and then called "just because," and they are pictures of this and that during the month. : )
DeleteHello Sheri,
DeleteThe colour is lovely one of the nicest I have bought.
The crumble was good,I wish I could have some now :)
Take Care x
my replies are upside down :)
DeleteRandom Posts are good Sheri I like them too x
Love all the prettiness and yumminess of this post Fiona :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I go walking I don't get to see many sheep, but there are always kangaroos keeping an eye on me as I walk passed, they look so cute with their big ears pointing to the sky :)

see.
Best Wishes x
