Just simply wonderful. That is my summary of Sunday.

I was given the opportunity to go to a baking day with Gillian Bell (such a great birthday present!). Along with three other classmates, I enjoyed a chance to learn from Gillian. We learned to bake pastry, biscuits and sponge cakes but we also shared in the infectious joy that comes from being with someone who thoroughly loves their craft. Gillian shared her knowledge and her appreciation for local farmers and their produce.

If you are ever given the opportunity I would definitely recommend spending the day with Gillian.

I am rather proud of my sponge cake …
