Easter break


One of the many good things about having a bike with a basket is that when I spot something dumped in the street, I can scoop it up and leave the scene of the find quickly. So this Easter I'll have my hot-cross buns on my lovely new-old wooden painted tray.


School holidays also begin tomorrow and as such I'll be popping in only intermittently over the next couple of weeks.

Tomorrow we're off to a friend's house to bake hot-cross buns, the smell of which will be heavenly. In the lead-up to Easter, though, I've been adding the odd hot-cross bun to The Child's lunchbox as, like me, she's a big fan. What she doesn't know is that the hot-cross buns she's been enjoying are from a company called Ancient Grains and made with wholemeal flour. Unless you knew, you wouldn't pick it. I figure a little fibre before the onslaught of chocolate come Sunday can only be a good thing!

Have a lovely extra-long weekend. x

    Great find Vera. Such a pretty little weathered tray. Perfect for eating hot-cross-buns off.
    Happy Easter to you and the child and the husband x

    My bike has a basket too...an big old wicker one. When my dog Mollie was a tiny puppy I used to put her in the basket and take her for a ride in it.

    The tray was a good find...I keep hearing about all these treasures that my Aussie friends find on the roadside.Have jsut come back from Freo and didn't find anything put out at all!

    What a gorgeous tray, nice find & rescue.

    It always amazes me what people throw out, especially since I see character and all they see is old... and is therefore discarded.

    Enjoy!

    I always look at your finds and think what a good eye you have. That tray is a case in point, especially considering you spotted it from your bike! Enjoy the easter break and the chocolate. T x
