when we have a house with a decent garden the first thing i’m doing is getting a treehouse made. like this one.

I can’t go over to see it, but its enough to know its there (Taken with picplz.)

day 9 festive fudge. no making of it today but i did make it not too long ago. cant make it today because we are preparing for our jaunt to england for bowlie 2. just packed the cats off with their gran and now going to have a bath. but first…

recipe line tin with clingfilm. fill your sink with cold water. add the following to a saucepan: 500g sugar; 150ml milk; 150g butter; 150g plain chocolate; 50g honey and melt on a medium heat. then boil it and test by dropping a blob into cold water. if it forms a soft ball it is thick enough. put the bottom of the pan in the sink of cold water til its cooler then stand the pot for 5 minutes. do not stir. next add 2 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp ginger then beat it for 10 minutes until it is very thick. pour into the tin and dust with cinnamon, ginger and icing sugar on top. put in fridge, cut when totally cold.

display you can do a few things to display it. cut it into small squares and put in small paper cases. to make them to hang on your tree cut a square of card and stick it in the middle of a larger bit of cellophane. put a bit of fudge on the square and cup it in your hand then pull the cellophane together. tie a ribbon loop for hanging first then a length of ribbon for curling. curl with scissors. add a sticker and put on your tree. you can also make 2 origami boxes from decorative card, one a little smaller than the other and sit the fudge in it on tissue paper then wrap the upper box like a present.
