I hear people refer to the October break as 'half-term' and struggle with this alien term. In Scotland, especially the north-east, the name is the 'tattie-holidays'; the time of year when children were needed away from the school to help with the potato harvest. Hard work but people speak of it fondly (I suspect the memory has been softened with the passing of time).
So, the October break has arrived and with it cold and wet weather. Just as well my youngest is finding things to do . . .
She made it entirely on her own and I'm proud of her effort, even if a little put off by her design (two different colours of sponge, jam filling, chocolate icing, gummy bears around the outside and jelly tots on the top, spelling out her initials!).
