Courgette Cake Season

I like cake. Specifically I like interesting cakes/loaves with lots of flavour. (No Victoria sponges here, thank you, and buttercream about once a year)

two pieces of courgette cake and a mug of coffee

Courgettes/zucchini are everywhere you look at this time of the year in the UK and incorporating one in a cake makes sense (to me!). This obliging cake is adaptable, freezes easily, can act as breakfast or dessert too and is an easy one to whizz up and bake while the oven is hot for a meal.

It uses eggs but I may make a vegan version soon and amend the recipe.

Here's a PDF of the recipe

Back from a mini trip to Oban, Mull and Iona where the air was fresh, and the skies clear (most days). 
Walked along shorelines and past fields full of wildflowers, watched sunsets across calm waters, took four ferries, tested cake assiduously, and acquired a little yarn.

Most importantly I made great connections for future @rowantreetravel tours🤗
🌈Good morning!
A woolly rainbow start to this rainy day
A new selection of dyed vintage wool blanket pieces is in the shop…
Making time for creativity…
It may look like my life is full of it - stitching samples, designing kits, printing, creating tours et al.
But time for me stuff is always limited, and too easily squandered.
This morning I watched Jane of Snapdragon Life as she ran an hour long session entitled About Time. She spoke such good sense!

Good morning! 
…..
Sunshine, birdsong, peace

More precious than ever
A very fine extended Sunday brunch and knit/stitch session with pals, followed by a less fun weed-attacking session chez Tart. 
These irises ask for nothing and delight me every year 🤗

I’ve missed my stitching! 
Working on a little sample for a new mini kit, listening to birdsong (and unprovoked barking🐾) on a sunny Friday afternoon. 
Simple pleasures 🪡🧵
I succumbed to some lovely wool threads naturally dyed by @woollenflower when I saw her last week.
Together with salvaged flowery tissue paper from a wee @asapoth purchase they make a pretty picture with another treat to self.  @porridgebrain Josie George’s new book was waiting for me when I got home 🤗

One of my favourite memories of the Outer Hebrides tour🤗
