Yellow

2014 so far has had a yellow tint to it.



Henry requested a yellow cake, and in fact a yellow present too, for his birthday. So the christmas cake his birthday cake was dutifully iced in a slightly fluro yellow. Unfortunately every last crumb of this cake is now finished. It made using a Nigel Slater Christmas cake recipe from his Kitchen Diary book and we're already planning to make another one waaaay before next Christmas. 



A yellow arrangement on the kitchen table. My 2014 diary; which I'm loving, is a beautiful yellow - as is my wallet; although at nearly 10 years old it's looking a bit faded (um, dirty). Am trying to drink more water... I like it warm with lemon in (honest that's not a gin and tonic).
The card is a Mary Fedden birthday card from a while ago; now blue-tac'ed to the wall.



And now we have some daffs to cheer us on up on this grey day.  Hugh's brother bought these home yesterday and they are already opening. 50p a bunch, lovely.
I quite like this yellow theme... hoping it continues.
