Grace is nine months old this week and I couldn't be any more in love with this age. In my eyes Grace is no longer a baby but a teeny tiny little girl, chock full of vibrant personality, life and an unwavering desire to explore and try absolutely everything on offer. With a full of beans little girl on my hands I now spend my days keeping her entertained and enthralled with a huge collection ...

blueberry scones
This morning I awoke with a distinct urge to bake scones and not just any old scone but a batch of brilliantly bright blue blueberry scones.
