Beautiful birdsong xxx Toffos Alison!!!! You just took me RIGHT BACK!! Banana ones - YES!! Mint ones too....now I want toffees!!! I liked your gratitude post Suzanne - it helped me today. Pink foil leopard print socks....WOW!! Those hot cross buns sound AMAZING.....I bought some chilli and masala savoury ones from the Co-op last year, strange but I couldn't stop eating them!! Injured ankle means I can't get out and have been banished upstairs by son who has friend round (which NEVER happens!!) ....Will make it into back garden later hopefully. We don't do much at Easter - we generally haven't seen family much at Easter - always felt quite left out.....Will be seeing my parents this Easter which will be nice - going over each day (son won't stay over but CAN do the journey now, which last year he couldn't 😍 - remember the positives Lucy!!). Definitely Definitely Definitely boundary for you and family Suzanne. My old job permeated everything with its all-pervasive tentacles of control........it helps NO-ONE. (well that isn't true, you help us immensely, but you have also created a system that can function & do the 'helping of others' without you being directly involved 24/7) x

I genuinely was amazed when Bake Off aired and people made things like Hot Cross Buns from scratch - I thought they were machine made 😂😂. Really hoping in 6 weeks my daughter will be driving and out world will change 🤞🏻. In the meantime I’m planning change for college returning and I will be walking alongside advocating for her to go part time face to face 👊🏻

Suzanne, wow you really have me reminiscing about HIGHLAND TOFFEE bars 🥰🐮 My friend and I had a 'den' in a blocked off bridge. We had a little fire and used to buy and melt and eat highland toffee bars. Similar but not quite the American s'mores dream 🤣 You can definately wish me a happy Good Friday. As a christian when I celebrate Easter I recognise that Friday was the very worst day with the barbaric crucifixion of Jesus but it was that day that led to Sunday, the best day ever - His resurrection and mission complete! It's OK for us on this side of history but Saturday must of been a living nightmare for his disciples. Sometimes in recent years my life has felt like a miserable Saturday experience. But I pray for the peace and hope of a coming Sunday.

Morning, yes can hear the birds. The sun is shining here in the South. There was so much I wanted to say on your gratitude post, but didn't/couldn't. Those baking courses sound great. I had such a craving for Toffo's in one of my pregnancies - blast from my childhood. Used to love banana toffee too. Pleased you are getting some balance for you and your family. Enjoy your day xxx
