The rain, the scones, the roses and my bladder. Those were the big topics of my day when we got hit with the second-wettest day on record on November 9.
Let me run you through it. It started raining quite heavily around mid-morning. This will be good for the reservoirs, considering Napier had just announced water restrictions, I thought.
And given it was a wet day, I thought I'd do some baking. I've been on a cheese scone campaign recently, which is weird as I never really liked them, but "cheese the day" I thought!
So out came the flour, baking powder, cheese, you know the rest. Into the hot oven they went, and out them came.
My anticipation was rising, my scones however were not! They tasted delicious but were as flat as a pancake!
