A Summers Sunday Afternoon?

Well one would think not with all the wet and windy weather we have been having of late in the UK . Making me think its going to be another showery summer just like last year alhamduilah. I can't complain as we have had some nice spells of glorious sunshine already........well some news on what i have been doing? I opted not to go on hols this summer in favour of a new fridge /freezer amongst other things much needed but now i feel like i need a holiday. Today we (me and the Kids) felt like some comfort foods in the form of sweet treats first so i made Basbousa there is something satisfying about sweetness esp around the coffee table with warm mugs of tea and nice chatter.

I also baked a bread topped with feta , tomatoes and black olives.

News on my sun flowers sadly the snail population in my garden had a feast on them and destroyed them

I was very upset esp my DD7yrs old as they were her's but we live and learn! Alhamduilah i kept some aside in a pot

These are all brooch's and i am donating them for a good cause . I went with Emma's suggestion of £3 for the big ones and i have already sold 2 of the primrose in the cerise colour.
I am using the little flowers to decorate little note books to sell

My children still have until Wednesday before they break for the summer hols but Dd 15yrs old has broken up for 1 week already now. The younger two have started a new Arabic and Quran tuition 3 days per week but much complaint from them alhamduilah they are settling in well and enjoying it mashaAllah!

Mashallah, what a bunch of busy bees you are...Love the bookmarks, inshallah you sell them all and the money reaches the people who deserve it.
I have those same flowers in my garden and don't know the name either ;(

Masha'Allah the flowers are gorgeous! So where is the bazaar? or can I order one and send you the money?

Oh, I think the mystery plant in your garden is called a marigold.
