Welcome to May! As it's a new month, I thought I'd take the opportunity to take a look back at April. 

The featured photograph was taken yesterday, on the last day of the month. We've gradually seen more flowers starting to bloom as the days have gone by, and the trees have gone from bud to full leaf in most cases.

It's not been either the warmest or sunniest month on the whole, but it has been unusually dry, so I've been out walking a fair bit, including a short break in the Lake District. It's been a perfect start for the lambs, which started appearing this month.

It's been a great month for cake too! 

Last but not least, I've added some lovely new designs to my shop. After a few months where I haven't done much making, it's been great to be back at the bench, and working on new ideas.
