Yum!!!

I'm not quite sure what is wrong with me at the moment, but not only am I attempting to de-clutter and get a bit more organised around the house, but I have also baked muffins! Savoury ones with sun dried tomatoes, basil, and cheese yesterday and just now chocolate and walnut muffins which came out absolutely fabulous!!!! Thank God I made a bigger portion than I planned to, as I believe they will get eaten rather quickly!
