Day 16 – In August last year I began a 40B440 List – 40 things I wanted to achieve before my 40th Birthday.   One of these was to try something new for every Sunday in January.   I had never made scones in my 39years on this wonderful planet!  So when my nana requested some this weekend it was a perfect opportunity.   My first cheese scones were a hit!   Thanks for the lemondade tip from one of my LeapStars Hope and my husband Riwai was amazed that in nearly 10 years of knowing me I have never made scones!  Nom Nom Nom.
