It's been half-term here, & of course Valentine's Day yesterday - we don't bother with all that commercial nonsense, but I did make a Nigella lemon drizzle cake as a love token (& I have surreptitiously scoffed most of it).Saturday afternoon was a bit of a baking session, as the cherubs & I made some cookies. Cherub #1 made some very edible cookies; as long as you like a lot of chocolate sprinkles & 100's & 1000's on your cookies (yep, I've been scoffing them too). Cherub #2 however, just made a mess, & was very happy at it.
I'm pleased to report that today I managed to work off a fair few of my calorie credits with a trip to Belfast Zoo. The zoo has a wonderful location on Cavehill, so the animals have a great view over the city & Belfast Lough, but it is effectively a day spent hillwalking. We have a knack of choosing to go on days when the weather is atrocious; today it was just freezing rain & hailstones for Cherub #2's first visit; the first time we took Cherub #1 there was 3 inches of snow.
It just wouldn't be as memorable if it was sunny!
