Bowie and Biscuits

Sunday morning started with bacon muffins for everyone. Not something we have very often but after reading Angie's post  and seeing her breakfasts I decided we should indulge in some this weekend.

With a picnic all packed we left home just before mid day to catch the train to Salisbury. We were meeting up with G's mum and sister at Elizabeth Gardens, a ten minute stroll from the station.
Unfortunately we appeared to have left the sunshine in Southampton as within 15 minutes of arriving it began raining.
We decided to take shelter under a tree and by the time everyone was gathered and the food was unpacked the rain stopped.

The reason for our visit was a free outdoor concert by Bootleg Bowie. There had been a couple of others earlier in the summer I would have liked to have seen, jazz and Romanian Gypsy, but we were busy doing other stuff and as G loves DB it meant we got to one of them. 

There was another shower halfway through the act, but the combination of the company, the music and the views to our left

and to our right couldn't possibly dampen our enjoyment.

All in all a very nice way to while away a Sunday afternoon before heading back home.

Today S and I have been busy in the kitchen.
First off we baked these Cheerio muffins, no photos I'm afraid I forgot.

Next up was biscuit decorating.
I opened up a packet of digestive biscuits and mixed up some icing.
S added the food colouring and then we got busy with the sprinkles.
