I've been having a little bit of a rest from making The Medlar House Mice.
For some reason I've had a frozen shoulder and so you can imagine it has been quite difficult to sew. It feels a little better now and so shortly, I'll be taking up my needle again.
The mice have been happy because the sun has been out. They have been able to scurry hither and thither collecting the catkins of the purple hazel and the fall of last year's hazel nuts.
One of our mice, Greengage has been making jam with them.
Her secret recipe is written down in the little book she has tucked under her arm.
Then Persimmon uses the jam in her special catkin cake.
Old Mother Hubbardmouse hasn't got even a tiny piece of the cake left for her dog Boneless. Anyway, he's not fond of cake. He prefers dog biscuits in the shape of bones. But when she got to the cupboard to get him a bone...there were none left....just an empty plate!
Alba the little white hare likes carrots best.
And we all know what Peacock, Papillon, Cowslip and Marshmallow like best....
Tea and cake! Perhaps these French Fancies are made with the French Lavender growing in the Medlar House Garden. I know one little mouse who would love these cakes..... Mme Chambord. She's French, you know?
