Butterflies, cakes, crumbles and Cornwall

Returned home my round robin
I was in Cornwall for two days this week.  Work I'm afraid not pleasure so spent most of the time on trains...four there, five home 16 hours travelling overall. 
St Ives


I read the book my mum gave me on the journey.  'Sisters' by Rosemary Lupton, I have to say I enjoyed it.  I also managed to start 'Buddhada' by Anne Donovan which is good (now I've got use to the way it's written in the Scottish dialect).  I stayed the night at Tregenna Castle Hotel which was very pleasant, I've promised myself that hubby and I will go back for a long weekend at some stage.  
When I returned home there were two parcels awaiting me, cross stitch round robins.  One of which was my original round robin returned, I think my round robin friends did a great job of stitching the butterflies, I shall be getting it framed and hanging it in the dining room.

Grandchildren
We had Katie overnight last weekend so this weekend it's Luke's turn to visit, he is going to help grandad in the allotment, although quite what they are going to do there I'm not sure as Jonathan is planting all the seedlings up this afternoon.  He picked some rhubarb last weekend, so I made rhubarb crumble and gave the rest of the bag of rhubarb to Mum.  The crumble was yummy.  

I also had a second attempt at chocolate guinness cake - the first one went down rather well at work.  It's definitely a really rich cake so only for celebrations me thinks
