~ baking, relaxing and my style icons ~

Autumn's chill is definitely here today - I've lit the fire (before lunch.  I've heard that lots of people try to wait until Anzac Day for the first fire but we've had an occasional one for a few weeks now - I do love the comfort of it), put the uggs on and am craving soup.

I'm also catching up with my list making - I've been posting them on IG but not getting around to putting them on here.

So here are my favourite things to bake (keep in mind I am no baker), my style icons (I struggled with this one but it seem Quentin is up there for lots of us according to the IG comments) and what I find relaxing.

 

Who are your style icons?
Are you relaxing or baking today?

I'm joining the #52lists project here.

~ grateful for ... the biscuits~

We didn't march or attend a dawn service

We did talk about war, peace, service, gratefulness, remembering, giving thanks, history and biscuits.

Mostly, it has to be said, about the biscuits. 

We made pancakes, french toast and ... biscuits (of the anzac variety) at breakfast time.

There was a long bike ride with not too much complaining up the hills (there may or may not have been biscuit rewards at the top of those hills).

There was lots of reading in front of the fire.

With more bikkies and cups of tea.

Dinner with our friends-who-are-family.

Exam practice sessions with some junior doctors who are hoping to be GPs one day

And then a hot drink and a biscuit before bed.

It was a lovely day

We were all very grateful for the biscuits. 

And ... for being here in this country, in this time of peace and having the opportunity to remember and be grateful.
