Second week of the school holidays here, and so far we've been drawing and eating. For the past year or so, I've not spent the school holidays at home with the kids, so I'm treasuring this mooching-around time. Arlo is always drawing these days. Mainly medieval scenes complete with castles and knights, but I liked these portraits he did of Tom and I too. Not a sword or shield in sight, either.
And to fuel all this drawing, I've been doing a bit of baking. Above is a plate of apricot buns, a new favourite. I made them using this recipe, except I replaced the peel and currants for a handful of dried apricots, chopped then soaked for a while in boiling water to soften. The finished buns, cut in half with butter and apricot jam is a pretty nice morning tea, I think.
