The Angus Show

It's time to get your Hunter wellies out again, grab the waterproof jackets and prepare to admire the handsome farmers - only in Angus not Fife this time!! Only a matter of hours until the Angus Show arrives - Friday 10th and Saturday 11th June are the dates for your diary.  The place to be is Brechin Castle, Brechin. I'll be in the Showcase Marquee so please do stop by to say hi!  Check out the website for more details about the show including who will be there (apart from me!) and what will be going on:  http://www.theangusshow.com  It'll be a grand day out!

My amazingly talented friend Lindsay will be there with her fabulous equestrian art.  Make sure you hunt her out to admire her work and maybe place a commission! She doesn't just paint horses - her talents are so much broader than that so, pampered pooches and spoilt cats feature in her repertoire amongst other things!  She will be based near me in the Showcase Marquee.  To tempt you, have a look at her blog: http://mathersart.blogspot.com or her website: http://www.mathersart.com

In the meantime, my kitchen is a steamy, icing sugar laden, sweet smelling heaven!  Lots and lots of tasty treats are being baked to tempt the most un-sweet-toothed!  There will be cupcakes galore, rocky road, brownies, (ooh - rocky road brownies - they sound interesting!  may try that!!)  home-made tablet, flapjacks and oh so much more ...... Few pics to show you my works in progress:
Coconut tart slabs, just cut and ready to wrap.  Moist coconutty topping, home-made jam and light, crispy pastry.  Who doesn't fancy a bit of that?! 

Carrot Cake cupcakes, straight out of the oven.  They are just waiting to be dressed in a scrummy cream cheese frosting and a pretty flower!

Rocky Road - still squidgy and warm.  Resist if you can!

You know it's been a busy day when the egg shells mount up!   All free range of course.  They are destined for the wormery as a tasty treat for the worms and the allotment to keep the pesky slugs off my lettuces!

A lovely tempting tray full of local (Blacketyside of Leven), juicy, strawberries.  My storeroom smells of summer!  They are destined for Strawberry Shortcake cupcakes amongst other things.  


To remind you:
