Always nice to meet another 'Brit' writer. Your Welsh Cakes look lovely - I love 'em, being Welsh myself, although currently 'exiled' in England.<br /><br />I couldn't find anywhere here to 'follow' you, but if you'd like to visit my blog it's www.hywelalyn.blogspot.com<br /><br />Have a great Easter,<br />LynHywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-41468237086964503842013-03-14T08:49:59.481+00:002013-03-14T08:49:59.481+00:00I think our frogs were anxious to get started this...I think our frogs were anxious to get started this year after that couple of warm days we had, just a shame it was all in vain as the frogspawn is now frozen.
