Milly-Molly-Mandy's Things to Make and Do

I promised in an earlier post to tell you more about a new book of mine.

Milly-Molly-Mandy's Things to Make and Do.

First of all... It looks cute doesn't it?!?

It was the cute front cover that had drawn me in.

If you ever come across a copy, do pick it up and have a flick through the lovely pages full of cute illustrations and wonderful ideas for things to make and do!

Among others you will find things to make and do ... outdoors, in the kitchen, in the spring, summer, autumn and winter. Plus games for sunny and rainy days too.

Being the greedy guts I am. I went straight for the "in the kitchen" pages,

where I found simple recipes for coconut ice and "no-cook fudge".

They were so simple that I thought I had to try them out for myself.

The coconut ice was delicious and even won over my sceptical husband!

The fudge however was nice, but very very sweet (not a problem for me of course)!

Next time i think I'll try the Sugar Mice recipe! Yum yum.

All in all a very sweet book. Perfect for little girls (and big ones too!!)

Thanks for reading.

Love Katie

One Sunny Saturday ....

One sunny Saturday Katie and Charlie went on a picnic to Felbrigg Hall.

Felbrigg Hall was one of Katie's favourite National Trust houses.

Togged up in shorts, sun hat and copious amount of sun cream, Charlie gallivanted around the gardens.

He chased chickens, raked grass, hid in the willow tunnel and took his favourite cars for a ride in a wheel barrow.

After having so much fun, Charlie was exhausted. 

"An ice-cream would do the trick", Katie thought.

He licked, slurped and dropped his ice-cream but above all Charlie enjoyed it.

In the car, Charlie slept and awoke in a strange place.

His expression was curious and anxious.

But this place wasn't scary.

They'd arrived at a new home.

But whose home was this to be?

His face relaxed and anxiety melted away as he was greeted by a friendly face.

His Auntie Tina.

The End.
