I am still poorly (alas the earlier report of being on the mend was a little premature) and feeling very sorry for myself - it has been almost two weeks now. I know I must be ill as I haven't cooked anything for over a week - very sad. Hopefully my antibiotics will kick in soon...please!!! Whilst lying in bed I have been planning ahead for the next baking project - Halloween is only a few weeks away and I thought this year I would make a Halloween gingerbread house. Any hints and tips on gingerbread house construction gratefully received - particularly from you lovely American readers as I know gingerbread houses are your National specialty! I am thinking that sugar glass windows and lights inside would b
e stunning...although perhaps this is a little too ambitious for a first attempt. In the meantime I thought I would share a few photos of the allotment show in my Mum's village - such a nice rural affair. I just love the scarecrows - Mum's was the large one in the green suit!

* a genuine typo, but I left it because that's how it would sound if I said it!
Get better soon Hannah!
Feel better soon Hannah, sorry to hear you're still not well. Lots of fresh OJ and TLC. I'm a lurker from Oregon - love and look forward to your posts. Keep cosy, take care.
Good Food magazine have a good one on their website - when I first made it I did sugar windows and lights - you are right it does look fab!! Also dead easy to achieve. My tip - have lots of tins ready to support the walls as the icing dries - and leave it to dry before trying to put the roof on. At least 24 hours.
Hope you are feeling better soon!
