Anyway, this isn't even a proper post really, just to post a picture show casing some of the baking I did today and some of my birthday and christmas presents. Due to the snow, we cancelled all my other plans and decided to just stay in, in the warmth and make a little afternoon tea for two.
The sandwiches are a variety of cucumber, ham and cheese, and variations of these same ingredients! I made half plain scones and half with sultanas (Mary Berry), then at the top you can just about see the lemon drizzle cake (Nigella Lawson version from How to Be a Domestic Goddess). At the front there is a big tub of clotted cream and some little pots of jam.
Presents wise, the cake stand, tea pot and cups and saucers were all christmas presents (Cath Kidston). Then the orchid was one of my birthday presents. You can only see a reflection in the orchid pot, as its hiding behind the cake stand, but there's also a lovely Jo Malone candle shining brightly as well. Roasted chestnut. Smells absolutely amazing!
Anyway, here you go:
