As we head into the final working weekI am very grateful to this lovely lady Kate @procrasginator who gets me through these busy times.
Finding the time to post is challenging this month but that does not mean we have been quiet. So much work has gone on behind the scenes with freezer orders going out the door, Christmas parties, etc.
We are still going.

My favourite part of an event is seeing it all come together on the day and there is nothing better than a house full of laughter whilst @procrasginator and I are busy in the kitchen preparing lunch
Yesterday family and friends came together to celebrate a 80th birthday.
A special day with drinks flowing and plenty of hot and cold canapés and bowl food to enjoy. Followed by cups of tea , birthday cake and cheese.
Thank you @jennings_jane for asking us to cook for your mothers very special day @_katenewman

~ Plums and Blackberries in a Rosemary Syrup ~
A delicious autumnal pudding eaten with ice cream or over your yoghurt for breakfast.
Recipe (serves 6)
6 x ripened plums halved and stone removed
375g blackberries
375 ml cold water
150g golden caster sugar
75g light muscovado sugar
1 1/2 lemon juice and zest
3 sprigs of rosemary
Put sugars and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 mins to slightly reduce the liquid.
After 10 mins add the plums, lemon juice, zest, rosemary and simmer for 10 mins or until the plums soften.
Add the blackberries and warm through for 1 minute.
If not eaten immediately keep in the fridge in a sealed container up to 4 days.

What is the weather doing today? We never quite know at the moment but on Thursday night we were lucky.
It was cold, but it turned out to be the most beautiful September evening. We had a stunning sunset for a pre-wedding cocktail party for 150 people.
Local friends and family enjoyed champagne cocktails before enjoying a selection of hot and cold canapés and bowl food.
A huge thank you to my team who helped make the evening such a success.

Ending July on a high with my last job until September.
Saturday night was a family of 3 generations coming together for the weekend. I was lucky enough to be asked to take the pressure off and cater for the evening. All the children were put to bed and all the adults could enjoy the evening without any of the work.
Guests started in the garden with drinks and a selection of hot and cold canapés before making their way inside for a sit down 3 course supper.
