CAKE + COFFEE + TEA

this weekend we ate cardamom coffee cake, recipe from angry chicken as part of her mailorder #5....i baked away to my hearts content whilst listening to the archers omnibus on radio 4....and then we sampled it 1) me + C with coffee and 2) me, C + grandparents with tea....scrumptious both times round! speaking of tea....i was sad to have missed the international tea party on friday which looked fun. i so enjoyed reading round the blogs involved....who drank what + lots of lovely photos of folk with their cups + saucers! not really practical to drink from but beautiful to look at....i'm loving the stitched ceramic ones by claire coles (take a peek at her her wallpaper too which is just gorgeous!)

wishing everyone a good week ahead....i have my mum coming to stay for a couple of days so will be back on wednesday. until then....x

p.s. loved eireann's post about delurking last week....i've taken a pledge to write more comments myself :)

The cake looks lovely. How perfect to bake while listening to the Archers omnibus. Sounds like a perfect Sunday morning.

Thank you for leaving your wonderful comments on my blog. They really did make me smile.

I've just visited your etsy shop for the first time. How weird that we had similar ideas with my cards and your labels. Your's are really neat.

I also listen to The Archers each week. Thank goodness for the internet and the Radio 4 Listen Again site.

Have fun with your Mum. I have just learnt that my folks are coming out here to NZ in three weeks so there's another match for us.

I'm sure that your cake tastes as amazing as it looks.
