In order to celebrate 5000 views of my Blog I decided to make some Chelsea Buns and take some pics of the Spuggies in the garden!! The most surprising thing about it is the worldwide reach of the blog ,the stats showing readers in a multitude of countries maybe the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada , and most of continental Europe is not that surprising and my Kazakhstani readership was mostly from Suffolk 😃😂 but what readers from India ,Brazil, Bangladesh, Egypt, Russia ,Taiwan, Hong Kong, Argentina etc etc make of my ramblings is anybody guess!😲 Though I suppose Birds and Cakes is pretty much a universal language!!!
Well I'm enjoying writing it so will probably carry on for a while, hopefully once the lockdown is done will get out a bit further afield and the posts will become a bit more varied!! Also more shed news hopefully coming soon!!!😁😁😁
Today I made some Chelsea Buns which were blooming tasty!!pics and vague instructions below also some bird pics at the end!!
