“Happy campers” filling their hampers at the end of the Gifts from the Kitchen cooking class today.

Oops, too much to fit into the baskets! Never mind, plenty of pretty little boxes for all the treats we’d made.

Seemed like a good idea to make an impromptu high tea style morning tea – hot scones with fresh-made raspberry jam and cream, small egg and bacon pies, sausage rolls and mini meatballs with home-made relish.

Delightful people who came along, and special thanks to daughter-in-law Cassie for her able assistance. Plus (of course) not to forget husband Robert, who as usual dealt with the piles of washing up I always manage to create during a class.
