So I’ve taken an insanely long hiatus from blogging — my last post was November ’09! Those of you who know me personally will be well aware of the fact that this doesn’t mean I haven’t been baking! In fact, I’ve been baking more than ever. Just living in the far north can have it’s draw backs — sun setting at 3.30pm in the winter, for example. So when daylight hours are limited to less than ten a day, it can be difficult to get a good photo! And that was the main deterrent from blogging. There was just not enough light!
But the flip side of the coin is that Scottish summer days are long. The summer solstice was last Monday and truly it was still light at midnight! So, I suppose I now have lost the “there’s no light” excuse.
