After 9 wonderful but busy days of shows, meals out, catch-ups & road trips I have enjoyed having a 'down day' today. It became apparent throughout the day just how much I had needed a quiet one when any attempts at conversation from others were met with a general lack of conversational skill from me! Time to catch-up with laundry, tidy my food cupboard, try out a new gym class* and, yes, bake.

Twice. For no other reason than, well, why not?

Lots of lemon in these bakes! There is something delightfully summery about lemon, quite unlike the weather at the moment...

*As for the gym class, I like to be a wallflower and stay near the back. You can imagine my disdain, then, when I arrived to find that the only other person waiting for the session was the PT! He enthusiastically suggested a tailored class so after some persuasion I agreed, however was thankful when a latecomer arrived! I am still none the wiser as to what 'ladies tone' entails but it was helpful to get some tips to hopefully benefit my running.
