Yum Andrea - I would give anything for one of those sausage rolls, I can't tell you how long it's been since I had a sausage roll, at my age I'm trying to keep off the pastry, you know how it gets

Hope your Mum gets better soon, my poor old Dad has had the same, he ended up in hospital - seems to be taking forever to get over the chesty thingy

Love your new listings - I adore her vibrant colour contrast

Hi Andrea,
OMG that food looks sooo yummy!
I hope your mum & dad get over their colds fast. Nothing worse that feeling the way you do when you get a cold.
Just remember to look after yourself as well.

Mmmmmmmm - home made sausage rolls. Can't beat that. I usually make them in the school holidays for the kids but they sem to eat them as quickly as they com eout of the oven. I bet your dad enjoyed his.
