a few weeks back I tivo’d Tess of the D'Urbervilles… now I remember fondly reading this many years ago at school and even named #2 after her but I don't remember the whole story.

Imagine my horror  when finally getting to watch it in the wee hours of the morning whilst trying to get some new projects finished for market when the taping finished on the wedding day!!!

did Tess and Angel marry? or did the nasty Mr fake D'Urbervilles turn up at the wedding and expose her?  I hate not seeing the end of a movie, no matter how good or bad it is – it will haunt me until I know….I am sure it must have been a happy ending or I would not have such positive memories of the book? Please tell me…..

In the meantime my real Tess (#2) has been busy helping me prepare for market – in more ways than one…

She has made several hundred of these for me

P1030410

lots and lots of these

P1030411

and kept me sustained with her first ever pannecotta from the Donna Hay chocolate book!

P1030404

and I must say it was very velvety smooth and rich and just what a tired chocoholic stitcher needed… of course we had to share….and the fresh raspberries ran out very quickly..

 

 

hugs and back to stitching!
