I went out with the Mistress today. She packed me in her bag and off we went. Her friend from another country called Ukraine wanted to learn how to make Savoury Scones.

First of all, we had to check out their 10-month-old little girl. Now she is a live wire and crawls everywhere and very fast too. The last time we saw her she was trying to crawl and couldn't quite make it. The Mistress adores these little people and lots of baby chatter going on. Her dad crawls too and hides from her and she finds him. High Jinx all around. I reckon my Gnome friends and I should try hiding from each other. This could be so much fun. These people taught me something today. Now Crickey I hope she doesn't wake from the noise.

Time to make the scones. I was placed on the window ledge to watch, but I needed to be closer to the action and demanded to go down onto the bench. I thought the Mistress was pretty switched on and placed me on the flour container for a better view. Much better I say. 

Needed a closer look. 

All sorts of things went into this big bowl. This is so cool being right at the action. I am never allowed this close at home, so I shall drop some hints. 

Gee, this lady learns very quickly. 

Now she is getting the bench ready with flour on it and then she dumps the lot on it. Strange if you ask me. It is supposed to go in the oven, not the bench, but I heard the Mistress tell her to do this. Weird humans if you ask me. Oh, then she pats the mixture, then cuts each one, and places it on the tray. Gosh, this is going to make heaps, but this young lady wanted to freeze some.

Already to cook. 

Once they were cooked this lady made a cup of tea and they had scones for lunch. The Mistress said yummy, and the young couple said this too. They said that salt would have been good to add for next time. The recipe was written in her book for future use. 

Time to go and see more of their family. This lady's hubby comes from a different country, Palestine.

The Mistress enjoys the elderly parent's company. There are always lots of laughs despite the language barrier. She was given a broken Angel to fix and keep. The Mistress loves Angels and delights to fix it and add to her collection of other Angels in her garden. Now don't tell her this but I reckon His Lordship might get this job. I could be wrong, but I guess time will tell, so watch this space.

On the way home the Mistress decided to get fish and chips for dinner, although was a bit early for dinner she doesn't like going out again once she is home. 

Love is in the air here tonight, as they are missing each other. I guess, Wednesday was a while ago, especially when you miss someone!!
