just joined a new group today did not even know it existed re baking  which is a subject close to my heart at the moment .

Baking was a wonderful pastime and then became a dying art form ,so pleased teatime is coming back and the art of presenting  it properly as well .

I have been hosting a Ladies Teatime one afternoon per month and we are upping it to oncea fortnight in these lovely months to come .I t is not that we have nothing better to do it is a life choice and better than meeting in the evening at the pub and I get to bake .We have had great fun photgraphing all our lovely china and serviettes etc good time is had by all
