Jam tart anyone? I was baking a lot for church last week and it was the moment of the humble jam tart, I chose to focus on. Now, a jam tart can be hit or miss depending on the pastry. Luckily, I got to experiment with a few recipes and found the best best pastry recipe ever, so each bite became a melt in the mouth experience, yum! Pastry ten minutes out of the oven has to be one of my all time favourite delicacies. Here we have raspberry, plum, peach and lemon curd.
My friend Hilary got the recipe from her friend Miriam, so she’s always called it Miriam’s Pastry - 250g plain flour + 175g unsalted butter, rubbed together to make bread crumbs. Stir in 20g caster sugar + 1 egg. 1tbsp water if needed. Rest in fridge, wrapped 40 mins. 200’C for 18mins. The filling is up to you!
Yep, still obsessed with clouds.
Early morning beach lushness. There’s a gentle peace at that time. I love basking in it. Cannae see a thing though without me sunnies on. 😎
Big, playful doggo. Strong, steady lady.
The sea, she shines.
A special stillness this morning.
“Oh I do like to be beside the seaside”
A special sunset.
It’s my little, furry, magical green friend.
I love stroking it.
Happy Friday!! Isn’t moss wonderful?
Here’s a recording of some delightful birdsong from my trip to Yorkshire, this time set against the bright, musical backdrop of the golden sun rising in the sky at dawn. It’s an uplifting piece, sparkly, joyful, and bursting with light. This is Shining Sun.
Epic set. Hypnotic. Enticing. Delicate. A melding of trance and techno at its finest. A journey. A dance with the light. A dance up to the celestial planes. Great comments. Shine on ravers 😎 Ki/Ki.
How lucky to see the Aurora in Fleetwood last night. It was worth getting out of bed for! I’m sure many people are saying that. Our world of wonder hey?
Well, these two have just blown me away to my happy cloud. Feels like a mash up of all my fav rave genres of the 90s. Funky, driving, melodic, bouncy, playful. SO good! Totally loving these vibes. Oh yeah. Thanks boys. 💃🏻 Bad Boombox b2b Funk Tribu at Intercell Indoor 2024.
20 degrees here in Harrogate. This lassie can hardly believe it. 😎
Good morning. Happy Monday. I was lucky enough to play harp before this view yesterday. The air was balmy, the birds were bright and I was peaceful. Love to all. 💖
Dear sweet Frankiebobbles, wants to be part of everything, including the custard tart! 💛
