Smart outfit and recipe

Finally had cause to look smart, so donned this black dress and clack jacket. Looked a bit sombre so teamed it with exciting tights and a purple snakeskin print belt. The sleeves on the jacket are too long for some reason, who was it designed to fit? Oh well. Wearing flats as wanted to be able to walk.

The bulbs are all starting to show themselves now in the garden. Just hope the rabbit doesn't spoil any more. Little devil has nibbled too many already.

and now for the pear sponge pudding recipe, especially for The White Cabbage
