The links on Nancy's blog, about mental wellbeing - are incredibly helpful - things we know about, but don't always put into action.I love working in the garden, and it always makes me feel relaxed and 'together' - but it's often at the bottom of the 'to do' list. So,thanks for the reminder, must give it more priority.Thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301630072970659470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-77003530756034994272013-11-02T06:08:27.491+00:002013-11-02T06:08:27.491+00:00My absolute fave cake!!

Of course you could always combine the two 'loves' illustrated in this post and make a chocolate beetroot cake.

It's good to do a mental stock-take and sort out our priorities otherwise we feel as if we are on a treadmill with no escape. That coffee cake looks delicious - enjoy!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-27253493921023300432013-10-31T07:59:23.663+00:002013-10-31T07:59:23.663+00:00I agree that time in the garden/allotment is so be...I agree that time in the garden/allotment is so beneficial on so many levels.

Wish it would work at the moment, I do say no to lots of things, but still there are other things of equal importance that need to be attended to. I suppose being on the internet is not one of them though, but then I would miss your inspiring cakes and pictures if I didn't take a peek.
