Jigsaw Log #4

Welcome back to another jigsaw log which is a fairly new series on my blog. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been getting more into doing jigsaws. I normally buy second-hand or swap with friends but my brother kindly bought me this 1980s shopping basket 1000-piece jigsaw. He said he thought the detail and familiar brands would make it a fun one to do and it was.

I mostly opt for 500-piece jigsaws and even then I tend to do them with my family. I started this one at the beginning of lockdown feeling very ambitious. It took me a good couple of months to complete; I kept coming back to it adding pieces as I went and I found myself enjoying it. I think I’ll be having a rest from jigsaws for a little while, but I’ll come back to them at some point as I have one or two more in the waiting. I would recommend this jigsaw as it was good quality.

Summer Fruit Crumble

Hope my lovely readers are well. I’ve been baking much more this year and it’s been helping me stay positive. I made this summer fruit crumble a little while back now. In my adapted recipe, I included a tin a peach slices, a fresh banana and some frozen berries. I’m more used to crumbles in autumn and winter so this summer adaption was fun to create. I used a basic crumble recipe, without rolled oats, and decided butter would be best for extra indulgence. It went down well with family too.

Do you like crumble?
