2025 doing something new / different

I made my first coffee cake today and made my first raspberry frosting (for a different cake, luckily because that would have been horrible   ). Both for the cafe.

We're both rather partial to both of those, P & I will be round for coffee and cake later.   If you google it, the American coffee cake  is something completely different.  Their's is a 'a cake to have with coffee' not a coffee flavoured cake. It's usually a moist cinnamon based slab sponge topped in a crumble topping. Quite nice too.

Drive straight past my place and go to the cafe. That’s where the cakes are. Better be quick, only 3 slices of the raspberry left   

Today I visited a Garden Centre - haven't been to one for months, maybe years, Its a local independent one, they raise a lot of their own plants and tick all the right boxes for being eco friendly. It was good to see all the butterflies and bees on the plants and there's a natural stream, running through the garden centre, so a constant sound of running water. Very relaxing.
There was nothing that leaped out at my, shouting "Buy me" so I kept my hands in my pockets and left.

I commend your will power     . Don’t think I could have left empty handed     .

It wasn't difficult - the YS plants were not my type, the seeds were T&M, some lovely fruit trees and bushes but not the right time of year for planting, lots of bedding which I don't do. They had display borders of pollinator friendly perennials which were attractive but I'd need to plan ahead for something like that. Maybe another visit in autumn?
