Thank you for doing that, Swati. There's little point in everything that goes into this blog if all I was doing is having a conversation with myself. (Which I do quite a bit of anyway! :)<br />I'm glad the cake was as good for you as it was for us. <br />Do come again xPiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933646544634162981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490342346010751586.post-80939639863563638832015-09-08T14:40:37.693-07:002015-09-08T14:40:37.693-07:00Hi Pia

Thank you for your lovely posts and recipes. I enjoy all your writing and look forward to reading a lot more of it. <br /><br />All the best x Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776389578627263172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490342346010751586.post-53284222948631309552015-09-04T03:19:17.993-07:002015-09-04T03:19:17.993-07:00Thank you, Amelia.

Such is their beauty. And that is saying a lot since I'm otherwise holding on tight to the last shreds of summer out here. Lovely pic as always too, Im curious what she is reading.
