A Scottish Summer's Day

I spoke too soon. It has rained for two days straight. Non-stop.

So, I've done a bit of baking. Oreo cookies, rhubarb and strawberry crumble, banana and chocolate chip loaf and the Best Blueberry Muffins You'll Ever Have. (We have had visitors...an excuse I am sticking to!)




These really are the best blueberry muffins. Maybe a little bit fussier than other muffins, but they turned out perfectly. I followed this blueberry crumb muffin recipe exactly.

I am quite happy curling up on the sofa, still reading the supplements from the weekend papers...but I would really like it to stop raining tomorrow, as I am being a tour guide for a couple of days and would quite like to see more than 3 metres in front of my face.

    I love Scotland, I really do. But I am feeling a bit peeved at the weather - seriously - I was hoping for more sunshine this summer.
    But never mind, I'll bake muffins instead. Ta for that. x

    Thanks! I have to say, they were good!

    There will be no more baking if this sun stays out though! Yeaaah! Summer may have arrived!

    My favorite type of muffin are those that have the crumble on top!
