I made a #cake for my in-laws' 60th wedding anniversary. Lemon and elderflower with cream cheese icing, fresh flowers from their garden and dried thistles heather from my mother's day gift from my kids. Turned out ok I think!

Bought this from the author in the street in Toronto. Autobiographical so it's not my usual sort of book, but it's well written and the guy was friendly. He sells his books online at setomas.com if anyone is interested #toronto'sstreetauthor #booksky #amreading

An absolute tour de force this one. Got it for my birthday but finally got round to starting last Sunday and couldn't put it down. Finished at 11.55pm it was so good. A real page turner!

Next, these four after a duff one on my kindle. All good, but a special mention to TLOST. I loved it, such a well written book.

First up, Dominoes by Phoebe McIntosh. A fabulous book that I read in an afternoon. Highly recommended.
