It is snowing slightly outside and I&#8217;m in a jubilant mood today. It was purely a coincidence but I&#8217;m now up to post 1000 and I&#8217;m celebrating by having a caption contest.

I won a competition on Apple and Spice for these wonderful oaty products.  Ariel couldn&#8217;t keep away from them!  Doesn&#8217;t she match the boxes?

The prize arrived perfectly timed so I could make these Honey, Lemon and Oat cookies she&#8217;s posted the recipe for.   They are very tasty!

Talking of cute, I won a knitted cupcake in Monkee Maker&#8217;s raffle    HP6 is now a very happy monkee indeed.

I&#8217;ve just finished the knitted part of the cushion cover.
