What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 853

 This is the jammy edition. Again I'm here to say thank you, we had a cream tea delivered from this fabulous community. We enjoyed it very, very much.

The big tub of cream was in a silver bubbly envelope with a little freezer block in the bag. So efficient. Doesn't it all look inviting! I unpacked it and put the cream in the fridge as we decided we'd have a proper lovely tea in the autumn sunshine the next day. Well, because of the circs, I woke in the middle of the night to find myself alone in bed. I staggered downstairs to find Mr Dunnit making a cup of tea, so I joined him. And then, like naughty children, we scoffed a cream tea at 230am. And we did it again the next day because the scones were HUGE and we really did struggle to finish one each, laden as they were...I mean, the jam would hardly spread!

Another lift to our morale, at just the right time, even if it was a ridiculous time, thank you so much. We had the go ahead to start clearing the site and have spent days scavenging in the soot and ash to remove what is now scrap metal. Oddly, I think it's cathartic for him, but I've stopped, it's really not any therapy for me! I've had a weekend of therapy with The Coven, some scrapbooking and chat about anything except what we're going to do (not entirely sure, yet) and lots of cutting and sticking. Best therapy, as we all know! I actually made a good handful of layouts, surprised myself...perhaps the reduced time I had concentrated my mind! So instead of the actual desk, please enjoy some of my output, because by next Wednesday, my desk will be littered, cluttered and messy, as normal!

The scones look scrummy and you deserve a little treat. Bet the weekend away did you the world of good, I always find that our Craft and Chat day is so refreshing although we tend to chat more than make. I'm sure you will both come up with a good idea moving forward. Remember the Phoenix rises from the Ashes. Happy creative woyww. Angela x11x
