One of our mice had a birthday today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PICKLE At long last the day he had been waiting for arrived. Pickle woke early, just as the sun was beginning to peep up from behind Round Top Hill. After the birthday breakfast with his friends it was time to open the presents. “What did you get Pickle?” Barley and Fred leant forward…

Barley sugar time

Today Barley made some scrummy barley sugar ready for Pickle’s birthday. If you have a party coming up these barley twists will go a treat and if you use white sugar they look like sparkling icicles. Go here for the recipe
