Now that I'm back at full time work, I enjoy some small pleasures at the weekend. I love making banana custard for Eve. I use good old Bird's custard powder (invented by Alfred Bird in 1837), just like my mother did when she was making custard for us as children.
It's therapeutic to make and you can control how much sugar you put in it (I put in way less than the instructions on the tin says). I had previously bought a couple of Ambrosia pre-made custard pots for Eve and all they tasted of was sugar - needless to say she didn't like them very much.
Of course I could attempt to make my own from scratch I suppose - I guess that will be the next step when I have a bit more time on my hands. I'm looking forward to the Christmas holidays and being able to spend time doing things such as this.
Today my dear friend Torgo and her baby Jake popped down to see us for a few hours. After lunch the sun started shining so we wandered out on a walk across Victoria Park and had a swift half at the pub before they went home on the train.
Dear Jake and Eve were worn out by the days events!
I just must share this photo below of my nephew Jago. He is so gorgeous and has the most lovely eyes. I think the family resemblance can really be seen here. He shares a lot of similarities with his cousin Eve.
Jago, 7 weeks old
