KayCee’s apple cake

We’ve had an abundance of apples just lately so we googled apple recipes and KayCee made two cakes tonight.

We got the recipe from All Recipes. Usually KayCee would measure all the ingredients out herself but we were short on time so I did the measuring and she did the mixing.
It gets very hard to mix as you add more ingredients and by the time we added the apples, KayCee couldn’t stir it anymore!

Aiden’s just come home from scouts and the first thing he said was, oooh it smells yummy, like cookies!

We did have to cook it for longer than the recipe said. It took just over an hour instead of the 30-40 minutes suggested but it may have been because I had put it a bit too low down in the oven.

The house smells wonderful and I’m looking forward to having a slice with my coffee sometime tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚

The Gallery – A Happy Memory

I was looking for baby photos of my children for today’s entry to The Gallery over at the wonderful, Sticky Fingers blog, when I came across some photos from our honeymoon. We had a lovely time so I’ve picked the following photos to show one of my very happy memories ๐Ÿ™‚

We stayed at York Lakeside Lodges and it was definitely the right destination for us. The lodge was lovely and as the name suggests, it looked out onto a huge lake.
There were ducks and geese roaming everywhere and as we went in May, there were lots of baby ducks and geese to ooooh and awwww over!

We also had a squirrel visitor who would come right up to the window and have a peek inside!

We visited a few different places during the week, including lavender farms, Holmfirth, where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed and took drives through the Yorkshire moors and dales.
The scenery was beautiful and we took lots of photos. I’m a big fan of natural waterways and there were loads of streams and rivers. We had to keep stopping the car so we could enjoy the views and take yet more photos!

 
 

It was a lovely relaxing week and I’ve really enjoyed looking through all the photos to find just the right ones to include in this post ๐Ÿ™‚
