I went to see my very good friends Nic and Owain in Manchester last weekend. We did some chatting, plenty of cake eating, lots of tea drinking and a fair amount of wine drinking.
We also wandered a lot in the lovely spring sunshine. A perfect way to spend a weekend.
It’s definitely that time of year again. The bit where I get all excited that it’s light in the morning when I wake up, I want to wear light coloured clothes and start believing that spring is here.
Also, as Easter is approaching, it’s semlor time. In Scandinavia, semlor are eaten on Fat Tuesday (also known as Shrove Tuesday) instead of pancakes. They are delicious bread buns with a gorgeous cardamon cream filling. This one comes from the Scandinavian Kitchen on Great Titchfield Street.
I stuffed my face with one whilst drinking tea yesterday evening. Ps. Thanks Marina. You’re a good friend.
