Epiphany and mushrooms

We made our 3 Kings cake yesterday.

And we went for a mushroom spotting walk about the garden.

I was given some turmeric to grow!  It looks very similar to a ginger root although more yellowish.
The ginger is nearby with the long thin leaves.  Interesting to me!

Epiphany

Happy Epiphany!

Casper, Melchior and Balthazar.  The same kings we have had for a few years now.  They are starting to look a bit tired looking!

I truly love this festival.

 It marks the end of the Christmas season and now for me, I sort out the house, find things we do not need to rehome and get everything in order.  My husband says, 'Hold on tight to each other, boys, there will be nothing left in the house except ourselves when she's done!"  And then the new year gets underway.  I am not one for resolutions but I admit to having too much sugar - that has to change straightaway.  No more secret stash of chocolate.

And our Three Kings cake.
