cherries on the cake

Hello again.

I still can't say a great deal about my new projects but I am happily working hard on several of them already.

One of them, though, has come to fruition at last. For a few months now, I've been busy with Rob at ph9 putting together a website, and today it goes out into the big, wide, world-wide web. It's at janebrocket.com (there's another link on the sidebar) and I think Rob has done an absolutely brilliant design job and, as it comes with an ultra-simple website management system that even I can use, it will be updated regularly. Have a look and you'll see all the things I enjoy writing about, plus some background information, news and favourite recipes.

I hope you like it, too.

We had a journalist and photographer from a major newspaper here at the weekend, and the above is just one of the shots of leftovers. (I'll mention the paper & date of the article when it's fully confirmed.) I baked and baked and baked, and talked and talked and talked. The sun shone, Alice's eclairs were a triumph, and Phoebe's meringues as soft as sugary little clouds. Alice also decorated the cherry cake I'd made with a very definite cherry statement. And I thought how all this - the books, the writing, the making and baking, and the sheer enjoyment of my work - are all the cherries on the icing on cake of life for me. I'm making sure I enjoy it while it lasts.
