Strawberries and Cream

We have been having such a great time, weather wise.  

We have had over a week of sun, heat and general loveliness.  It does make such a difference when the sun shines.  People in general are much happier and brighter and more likely to smile :))

Well with all of this lovely weather I have been craving more fruit - and today I really had a notion for strawberries!!!

So I thought I'd make strawberry tarts. It was a cheat really because I bought the pie bases from Marks and Spencer (no I didn't make them by hand - who's got the time for that!!).

 I filled them with cream and topped with strawberries.

I'll tell you something - they really hit the spot. 

Yum Yum!!!

I even remembered to take some piccies this time before enjoying them, lol. 

 

I love the plate I used for the photograph - my mum brought it back a few years ago from Portugal for me. It's hand painted you know - so pretty.  

The only trouble is I am such a clutz that I'm scared to use it in case I drop it.  

So far so good though - maybe I'm not as careless as I thought I was :))

Our wee town is a seaside town and today, because the weather was so good, it was really really busy. I think the sun comes out and everybody wants to visit the beach - who can blame them!!!

I just sat in our back garden and enjoyed the rays from there. 

I hope it is lovely wherever you are :))
