This weekend my husband's family came to visit - 18 people in total including all our nephews and nieces! In years gone by cooking for 18 would have seemed daunting but after surviving cooking for 500 school children, 18 seemed a positive breeze! Lots of home made pizzas which the children helped make, vegetarian lasagna and pasta with
Giancarlo's tomato sauce (I must post that recipe soon as it is delicious), clotted cream strawberry cheesecake, chocolate toffee brownies (a work in progress which are becoming yummier each time) and baked peaches (Robbie Hudson - I am waiting for the report of you making these!!!!).

I love this time of year when there are plenty of flowers in the garden and you can dot bunches around the house when visitors come. These are the arrangements I did this weekend! The sweet peas are from my mums allotment and smell d
ivine! All very simple and free and yet these jugs of flowers looked a picture on the tables in the garden!

I love that white alstromeria you've got in the pretty white jug - you don't by any wonderful chance happen to know what it's called, do you? They mostly come in colours I don't much like, but that's lovely
Sounds as if you had a great day - clever you to get the children to help with the cooking
