Well,  I have done part of what I said I would do, I have made a crumble for dinner tonight. I have spent the morning setting up the camera on my new tripod so that I could video myself making the crumble. Yes I know it is a crumble which many of us have been brought up on – school dinner regular in my day. I love making crumbles for several reasons:

  •  they are so easy to make
  • you can have whatever flavour you want
  • all my family love crumble and custard

I thought I would start off with something easy and see how my recording and photographing skills have improved over the months. Also, I am wanting to upload the video to Youtube so I want to try and get it right and be really happy with it before hand. I am venturing into new territory here which is rather scary but exciting at the same time. Hopefully, the video uploaded tonight so I will share a link to it and you can tell me what you think?

I can have lots of practice recording myself baking this week as I have quite a lot of baking to make this week, some savoury and some sweet. At the moment I am trying to use the tripod and camera to film my baking which I do during the day so that the children are not in the way. However, when the holidays comes around and they are under my feet I think their little faces will be trying to appear on the videos so then the true hard work will happen – or else I will not be making any videos then.

Another platform which I am going to share my photos of what I bake on is Instagram so I need to improve my photography skills some more and do an awful lot of practising. For the rest of today, I am going to carry on with my large compilation of recipe book and when my husband comes home we can sort out the video to add to Youtube.

For now though I am sharing the recipe for the Plum, Forest Fruit and Rhubarb Crumble which I made yesterday.
