WOYWW 672 cat blanket and Florentines

Hi all, I hope you all had a good Easter?  This week, I’ve not been crafting much. I’m making another cat blanket, just a simple C2C pattern. 

I wanted to make some special chocolates for Easter, so I thought I’d try Florentines. I filled the bottom of each square with pistachios, walnuts, almonds, apricots, ginger, mixed peel, and then covered them in chocolate. 

They didn’t look really like Florentines but they taste ok!

After we dropped off the boobs last week, we thought we’d have a look at a restaurant that’s recently been done up. It’s called the Pig at Bridge. It’s literally downstream from us as the Nailbourne, below, begins near Lyminge. 

It was famous in the 1960s for rock gigs. Led Zeppelin once even played there. Sadly, it was before my time. 

The restaurant was very busy, but they found us a quiet corner with an open door to this pretty courtyard. 
Their menu sources most food from less than 25 miles away and the food was delicious. 

Gracie and Bella send purrs to you all. 


And finally…



Take care and happy crafting!
Hugs

Cats do make great hot water bottles Lynne. The George and dragon funny was very cool too. That restaurant sounds great and the cat blanket is pretty. Meow to Bella and Gracie. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #10

I haven't had a Florentine in ages. Used to eat them a lot in Switzerland. Yours look good - lots of chocolate.

The Pig sounds delightful and the courtyard looks lovely just the place to be on a sunny day.
