I certainly do watch the GBBO and have watched it right from the beginning. Who knew that watching people baking could be so addictive? I am defintiely not up to that standard, but I do really enjoy baking. The dahlias were a lovely surprise and I have really enjoyed having them in the house.<br />Have a good day too.<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-54410044572249969302014-09-04T12:28:04.135+01:002014-09-04T12:28:04.135+01:00Thanks, Mirjam.
