Aspirations

I thought I would share a couple of photo's of Willow and Tangent watching Crufts - I hope they were taking notes! Especially as Tangent has a show on the 3rd of May and another on the 30th May. I have also been toying with the idea of taking Willow out of retirement for one last show. I'm still undecided, but it will have to be a local show as I don't want to travel too far with her with her arthritis - She will be slightly more than cranky if she then had to do a whole day at a show!

Chocolate!

We have now been in the new house for about three months and things are starting to settle down nicely. I even had the inclination to make some more chocolate, which I haven't done for months!

Below are my most recent efforts: An Easter egg - which quite frankly was the thickness all Easter eggs should be, not this half-centimetre rubbish! I also made some chocolate spoons which I was quite proud of as the tempering went very well so they are the 'shiniest' chocolates I've made to date. Finally, some white chocolate rats that came out with a frosty appearance so I must've got the temperature wrong somewhere.
