Suzy's Vintage Attic: Apple picking in the rain

Apple picking in the rain

What can you do on a rainy day? After staying indoors most of the day doing housework, I felt in need of some fresh air. I decided to pick some apples from the front garden. So out I went in the light rain and picked some apples. The air was fresh, earthy and invigorating!

Now on to what to make with them....Apple juice, cake, tartlets? A good excuse to go through some cook books and magazines.

Miss P had a good day at school yesterday, thanks for your good wishes.

A bientôt!

Love your pretty new header -- so homey and cosy looking.
