Chocolate

Winter flowers
Hello! 

This has been a week of extreme weather – four seasons in one day, some days…
I did bring in some lovely little blooms today after spending an hour or two in the garden. Daphne, freesias and hellebores. Winter flowers seem extra-sweet.

It's also been a day for baking – Keira and I made these chocolate biscuits for her to take to a friend's house. I first typed out the recipe here back in (gulp) 2007… my blog really is getting quite old isn't it? I still make these cookies in the same way, but use a little less butter and sugar these days. In the photo above you can see I'm also about halfway through knitting a sock… my goal is to finish that this week. I feel as though I've been working on that pair all year!

Here's a song I've been listening to through my headphones this week: Fruit flies by Gabriel Garzón-Montano.

Hope your week is a good one.

    Those looks like great chocolate cookies (here in the US they call them cookies.) I love cookies by any name 🙂 Sweet flowers! Summer is coming to an end here in Northern US. The socks looks awesome. I was wondering how I can get to see your etsy shop. The link I see in the right corner above did not worked for me. Thank you and have a wonderful week.
