Sunday Sewing

Had a very pleasant Sunday morning sat in the warm (for a change) air watching the young man and his cricket team. Unfortunately, they lost. I didn't need any lunch because they had been cooking bacon butties in the club house, so I sat and embroidered what I hoped would flower in my garden this summer. Ive also made a very fattening Rhubarb and Strawberry fool for after tea. The Rhubarb is from my garden, and I stewed this with sliced strawberries and sugar to taste, then when it was cool, whisked it together with whipping cream. Ive topped it off with a bit of crumbled flake. Things taste so much better when you have grown them yourself.

    That sounds like a lovely day, the embroidery is gorgeous! And the fool looks delicious.

    Just had a listen to Everlasting Love on your playlist and it has really cheered me up on a horrible morning so thank you for that :)

    I now have a passion for rhubarb...I hated it when I was at school...they always over cooked everything!

    Hi Diane, that rhubarb and strawberry fool looks tempting. Rhubarb is for sale on alot of the hedge veges here at the moment so I have made a few crumbles and cobblers but now I'll have to whip up a fool for the kids as well. Thankyou for the idea.
