The Fifth Annual Jane Austen Fancy Dress Tea Party was held about a month ago. As usual it consisted of good friends, good conversation and lots of food. In fact I think I broke my record for food provided to a known number of people.

This year's Jane Austen Party was just as fun as usual. Four lovely ladies came to have tea with me - two of them who now live out of town - and we had a wonderful time eating goodies and chattering about anything that came to mind. My sister Jane came over early to help me make all the little sandwiches and Rob took Abby for an extra long walk to keep things calm while everyone arrived.

... Or two.

Today after work we cleared off my desk and set up the mini.  Rob created a special widget for me - a recipe finder.  You wouldn’t believe how many recipes there are for hot cross buns.
