Today I made my first Victoria sponge cake since school days. Not sure why it took so long to get around to baking one; after many hints from Ian I decided to bake one for when he finished work today. Trouble was he came home early and I hadn't assembled the cake! He was pleased all the same and waited patiently for it to cool down, finally having a huge slice at 3pm. Well that is tea time isn't it? I used Mary Berrys perfect Victoria sponge recipe because its easy and I hate mixing this then mixing that and adding it together. I'm quite impatient and like quick results. I was surprised how good it was for such an easy recipe and will make it again and again. Here is a picture of Moss giving his best puppy eyes, please let me have a little bit look. It didn't work!
I'm still working away with my large crochet blanket (first one) and can see why its becoming so fashionable again. I love mixing the colours and don't even mind sewing in the ends. I've been doing this as I go along to make it less of a task. So 14 rounds to go and it will fit our double bed and then I can start my next one ;-) Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Amanda x

That sponge cake looks really delicious so I'm not at all surprised poor pooch is pleading for a tiny little bit. Don't tell me you didn't give him a tiny weeny little bit.
Do wish I could have sufficient patience to crochet a blanket for a double bed. My maximum is a cot cover.
keep well
Amanda :-)
