venetia_sassyI don't know why but the chocolate caramels are softer than last time - much easier to cut but I think I preferred the chewiness of the last batch. I think the raspberry caramels taste like a mouthful of jam but, as tastes differ, Mum thinks this is a good thing. *shrugs* As long as people enjoy them! The lavender shortbread remains successful and I remembered to process the sugar and lavender this time which distributed the flavour more evenly. And this orange and ginger shortbread has turned out pretty well! Even if I did underestimate how many oranges I'd need, had to use a lemon as well and still didn't have the full amount of zest. But they taste good.

Have you ever seen hip-hop dressage? This marvellous vid sets some of Blue Hors Matine's fabulous performance to hip-hop music and it works amazingly well! As it happens, the music for the original performance included Lady Marmalade and what sounds very much like Keith Urban's Jeans On. Seriously, don't just watch the hip-hop vid, watch the whole performance, it is magic. Mum, who has knowledge of horses and dressage, actually gasped several times watching this. Matine just dances. You'd swear she's listening to the music.

This is the first song I heard from Sarah McLachlan's Wintersong before I knew there was such an album!
