It is wet and windy again. Too horrid to be outside in spite of the mild temperatures. The cosiest room in the house on days like these is the kitchen. A big window looks out on the fields and woodland area of our garden where some escapee sheep are gazing back at me. There is hole in a fence somewhere and these ladies keep making a beeline for my garden, they seem unperturbed by the *dogs who are a little perturbed by their intrusion. The Technical Advisor and our neigbour rounded them up and sent them home yesterday but they are back today. It's hard to say for sure, but somehow I feel it is the same group of reprobates who break out each time.
On days like these I want to be in the kitchen, cooking big pots of soup or stew and baking of course. Nigel Slater's Marmalade Cake fits the bill today. A damp orangey cake, lovely with a cup of tea.
* I discovered Oakley sitting at the table googling ways to discourage sheep.....

Thinking about marmalade cake and Paddington Bear.
That cake looks just the ticket for a wet and wild day.
I'm watching snowflakes that are as fat as small cookies drift out of the sky right now--too bad we can't combine our treats....
Lovely Saris!
