Weather is miserable today and to be honest, for the last week. Rain and heavy storm and cold. Fields are flooding around our little village. At night I get the horses in, out of the wet field and on to the concrete. They don't seem to mind. Around 10PM they are already waiting to get in.

The weather is that bad that not even the dogs want to go outside but curl up on the couch or in their beds in front of the woodburner.

Approaching the festive season, I thought it's time to experiment with some vegan baking. No eggs and no "normal" butter.

Today I have a pear/banana/walnut up side down cake in the oven. Never done one before and it's a bit of trial and error I think. My neighbours will be my guinea pigs. They don't know it yet though :-)

I wrote down all the ingredients I used. If it's a hit I'll post it on here.

With the cake in the oven I can concentrate on my last Christmas commission. You can follow the progress on my FB page or my blog. Just visit my website and follow the links.
