- Join me for Midsummer Day in Marion's World as I go to the beach, do some baking, take you on a garden update and do some watercolour painting.
I hope you enjoy seeing what I got up to on the longest day.
Almond Finger Recipe
8oz Self Raising Flour
8oz Caster Sugar
8oz Semolina
8oz Softened butter
2 Eggs
Almond Essence or Extract (A good couple of teaspoons)
Jam
My tin size is 7.5" x 12" (19cm x 31cm) but a bit larger would be fine.
Method
Everything except the jam goes into a bowl and get mixed up. a good half of the mixture is pressed into the lined tin. Spread with a layer of jam. Press the other part of the mixture on top and spread out.
Bake for 30 - 35 mins at Mark 4 (180 deg C or 165 fan)
Cut into slices whilst hot, but leave in the tin until cold.
Enjoy!

You're most welcome... I'm so pleased you enjoyed it... I'll have a video coming soon about using something that came from the beach....🤔☺️
Love this Marion❤
👍☀️🌊thank you
Dear Marion, this was the most beautiful day I could ever imagine. It is so heartening that you have such appreciation for all the gorgeousness around you. Bless you for sharing the joy!
I think I might have started a channel tradition by filming my midsummer....
I always have done something special, although I've not always been up for the sunrise... I enjoyed it immensely though ☀️
A lovely day❣️
☀️💐
You have created a wonderful habitat for wildlife. It was wonderful hearing all the different birds sing while you guided the garden tour. I'm like you, love the overplanted look, as you walk the path the plants inviting to be touched.
I'm definitely never going to be a neat and tidy gardener. All the wildlife deserves to be part of it too...💐
Oh My, Marion, what a lovely midsummer day visit we’ve had. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit. 💖💖💖
☀️👍
You are a treasure, thanks for sharing your time.
Thanks again Marion, love you garden and paintings. ❤

This was a joy to watch. You popping up in different clothes to admit to the problem with taping had me chuckling away. A perfect day. Thank you for sharing

Loved your day ❤ I loved beachcombing with you and hearing the crunch of the stones and the waves. I collect the glass stones too, here in NewZealand, I used them in my mosaics. Your garden is heavenly and your roses Devine. Thank you Marion, you are very clever in every way. ❤
Thanks Lucille 👍🌿☀️🌊
I really love your video. Thank you for sharing. Your a wonderful person.

😅🌊
What a wonderful way to spend the Solstice, I enjoyed every moment with you - the walk on the beach, your beautiful garden, baking, and especially your watercolour painting🥰 Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much ☀️🌿🖌️
l'm sitting here with a cup of tea, enjoying your lovely video .Thankyou Marion!
💐
What a wonderful video - thank you for sharing your day !
💐👍☀️🌊🌿🖌️
Marion, your trip to the coast is such a lovely visit. I have always enjoyed beach combing and have many treasures. Because of you, I am beginning to see collecting and how I can use in my stitching/crafting! Thank you!
I do like the tradition you're establishing of a day in the life on midsummer's day! Thank you.
Well there's two now..so I'll have to keep it going I think 😅
Your garden tour brought back childhood memories of when my grandmother came to visit. Mom and Grandma walked through the garden, naming each flower. That’s how I learned the names and how to care for them.
Me too.. Grandma knew all the wild flowers 🌿🌼
I live watching all your episodes - I embroider and try to learn from you.I live in Downeast Maine U SA. I’m 84 and your company is precious to me. Thank you
Thanks so much Carol. I'm so happy you're enjoying it all...👍☀️🌊🌿
Lovely sharing the day with you Marion, seeing your garden, watching you painting and baking. I have made the almond fingers, absolutely delicious, thank you for sharing x
👍💐
I made the mistake of watching this lovely video while cooking dinner and a dessert. I became so mesmerised watching you paint the rose, the next thing I knew the house was filled with a deliciously sweet smoke as I had burnt the sugar syrup for the lemon drizzle cake. 😂😂😂 I am in love with your flower wheel. Thank you for sharing midsummer’s day , as it warmed the heart of this girl in the thick of winter. 🌞😊
Oh no... You made lemon caramel....☺️☀️
Thank you for the beach. That was soothing. Your garden is beautiful. Your treat looked yummy. I really enjoy you. ❤
☺️💐🌊☀️
What a beautiful video filled with gorgeous flowers, sounds of the ocean, cooking in the kitchen, and painting a fantastic rose outside in the garden!!! What more could you ask for? Oh and, yes, don’t forget a cup of tea 🥰 🌸 🫖
Definitely haven't to forget the cup of tea!😂🫖☕
Such a lovey day Marion. I will for sure try the recipe. Your watercolor rose looks very very pretty….. you are very talented in all things handmade!❤
I try my best. Watercolour painting is improving but not great...😏🖌️
Thoroughly enjoyed sharing your Midsummer Day Marion. Thank you.
☀️
Beautiful video Marion, your painting is exquisite and you know i love your garden ❤
Thanks Kathryn... I'm actually not too happy about the rose painting. When I was watching it back I couldn't believe I had still used my tiny brush 🖌️ instead of changing up... I'm going to try again and hopefully get a more loose painting. I definitely need the practice!
I hope your summer is going well.. it's gone all cold again here unfortunately 😏
@@marionsworld24 we are always our own worst critics, I thought it was beautiful ❤️ we have had rain again, it's now sunny again but straight away far too hot for me, high 20s in the shade 😱😁
You're a woman of many talents. You seem to can turn your hand to anything. 😊 Beautiful garden also and the biscuits look the business.
They definitely are!☺️
I love your cardigan Marion.I will be going to the coast soon and I will be looking for treasures.xxxx🐝🐝🐝🐝
Good luck finding some lovely things 🤞
Aww it was absolutely lovely to spend an hour in Marion’s world, thank you ☺️ x

Hello Marion, i was liking my lips with your delicious almond biscuits/ cake ❤. Hope you enjoyed midsummer, thank you for sharing and taking us to the beach , what a beautiful treat . Soft hugs Teresa xx
Thanks Teresa ☀️
Thank you for sharing your day with us. I really enjoyed you taking us to the beach, then on another garden tour. Loved hearing the birds in the background too! Your artistry is a delight and there's nothing like tea and cake to finish the day. As always, Marion, you've made my day! X
☺️🌿🌊👍
It was a lovely visit!
👍🌊☀️
I enjoyed your walk on the beach. So nice with the sounds .

Thanks so much for sharing your day with us! I am looking forward to trying your almond finger recipe.
👍☀️
What a lovely midsummer day video Marion. You are such a joy to watch. Your garden is beautiful and the almond fingers look delicious. I really enjoyed watching you collecting pebbles at the beach, something I love to do
☀️
Thank you for sharing the special moments of your day, quite wonderful. I’m addicted to the ice-cream recipe so should I dare to try the almond fingers! The rose painting is stunning and will be uplifting to look at when all the blossoms have finished.
😅 they're scrumptious!
I just wanted to let you know that I so enjoy watching everything you show us ❤ thank you you are so talented ❤ Cheryl from Missouri USA
Gosh -not sure which i love more - your fingers or your sweater. Well, then again there is your lush garden and all those wonderful glass stones. . . thanks for sharing!
😅👍☀️🌊🌿
Lovely to see your day. I will definately try the almond fingers. I think they with be a favourite for my husband he loves Bakewell tart so almond and jam flavours will go down a treat. Beautiful roses ❤
Mmm... Bakewell tart 😅
Thank you for sharing this lovely day with all of us! Almond is one of my favorite flavors - I use it in my pound cakes. I will have to try the almond fingers. Loved your beach treasures and gorgeous and peaceful garden. Have a restful evening. Until next time!!
👍☀️🌊
I live on the Texas gulf coast. One day I brought home a beautiful shell. I set it in the kitchen window. The next day I noticed that the shell was in the sink. I picked it up and found that a hermit crab was making his home in the shell. My husband drove the 40 miles back to take the crab back home.
Yay😊
Oh my goodness.. that was dedication. It's years since I've found a hermit crab!
I love all your pretty flowers in the garden. I will try the almond fingers👍😊
They're scrumptious!☀️🌊🌿
Enjoyed sharing your day, my husband bought me the Olivia rose today, beautiful scent. I've sat reading by it all afternoon so I could smell it.
It's a beautiful rose.. very floriferous too...
I loved this video!! I stayed glued to the screen. Your flowers are so pretty and you found some great finds on the beach. I just felt like I was there with you. ❤
I'm so happy you enjoyed it all ☀️
Lovely to hear the sound of the sea. As always a brilliant video with a great insight to one of your days ❤
☀️😊
What a wonderful journey you took us on. You live in a place of heaven on earth; lovely birds and flowers and brought back memories of time spent at the beach gathering the riches of nature. I loved this video. Your sweater is fantastic, your talents outstanding and stunning painting!!! Thank you for sharing your day with us.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it all.. I really did have a lovely day...
Also one of the beach finds is already getting used! Hopefully the video will be coming soon...☺️🧵🪡
The rose painting is absolutely beautiful. I will try the recipe tomorrow! I hope they turn out like yours!! Take care and thank you for another lovely video.
I'm sure they will ☺️☀️
What abeautiul pinting.
I so enjoyed sharing your midsummers day with you - thank you!
☀️👍
Thank you Marion for your video and sharing such a lovely day with us all. The beach walk took me back to my childhood in Scotland. So much fun picking up jewels. I am 10 miles from the sea here in the South and now I pick up anything. 😂 wood, stones especially holey ones ,so agree with you on that score. My favourite time is early morning you bump into the odd dog walker but no crowds. So nice to walk along the shoreline crunching underfoot. Love all the nooks and crannies in your garden,lovely to sit, cup of tea and stitch. Almond fingers yum,a most definite make for me. Watercolour wise what a beautiful rose, you have really captured it Marion.
☺️👍🌿🌊
❤Glorious! You are a water colour artist!
Trying to be. I started the wheel for two reasons.. to practice a little picture every day...and encorage me to go outside into the garden...☺️🖌️
What a great day! Enjoy your beach finds, you yummy jam bars and the beautiful watercolor! I did! 🌺
👍☺️☀️🌊🌿
Happy Midsummer! The garden is looking lovely and your paintings are coming along beautifully. Thank you for sharing your beach walk and the glorious sun from your part of the world.
I'm pleased the ☀️ came out to play.... It's been a long cold spring here....
Beautiful, thank you for sharing xx ❤❤❤
What a lovely day, Marion. Thanks for sharing it with us. I loved seeing your seaglass "jewels" 😍💞
☀️🌊
I have just spent a wonderful day with you! Thank you. Your trip to the beach brings back childhood memories, from too long ago, of beachcombing for treasures. You are great company when I am sewing and I rewatch your vidoes all the time. It's 6 deg Celsius here in Brisbane, Australia, but by lunchtime, it will be back up to around 22 to 24 degrees. It's a nice winter here, only cold at night. I see a dolphin in the beautiful dark stone you found. Cheers Suzanne
Yes..a 🐬..I see it too...☺️
Thank you Marion for taking us with you on the beach, such a paradise among all the stones. I love round smoth stones in different sizes and colours ❤ Holy stones! I have never seen any.😔
Your garden....ohhh....❤❤❤❤ some of your flowers are also in bloom here in Sweden now like the Philadelphus, some roses, honeysuckles, bluebells, daisies, foxegloves....with more.👍It's a lovely time of the yer. Today I tasted the first red tomato from the balcony cultivation!😋 Youre rose painting is so beautiful!🌸🌿 Blessings!
My goodness! Your tomatoes are much earlier than mine. The first trusses are just setting.... 🍅
This was one of my favorite videos you’ve made. Thank you Marion for sharing your world with us.
💕👩🏼🌾🕊️💕
💐👍☀️🌊🌿
Marion you have been busy on your midsummer day and I felt like I was with you all the time. We are in North Queensland visiting my son and family.We had a hot midwinters day here in Cairns 26C unlike the rest of the family in Victoria 13C. Loved your Calendar Wheel of flowers. Somehow I missed all the other additions? Take care 🇦🇺🦘💕Margaret
Your winter day is hotter than summer here ☀️☀️☀️
You have many flowers that are edible. If it’s edible you can use them for tea or make jelly. Roses make a lovely floral jelly or tea. I didn’t see any in your yard but one of my favorite flower jelly’s is red peony. Apple blossoms are very good for a light apple jelly where you don’t have to deal with pulp.
My peonies didn't seem to do so well this year... Maybe it was too cold and wet 🤔
I do make rose petal jelly. And lilac too. I keep saying every year I'll get around to honeysuckle jelly but I end up forgetting to do it...😏
Interesting about the apple blossom. I wouldn't have thought to use them as I've always just used the apples. I'll have to remember to give it a try next year...thank you 💐
I made sure I synced my cup of tea with your cup of tea time to toast you beautiful Marion. So generous a soul you are, I am very excited to try your "scrummy" recipe too. Loved your footage on the beach walk, it was a special time to hear those loved ocean waves as you filmed and shared. What a talented creative you are, the rose watercolour you are working on is something precious, and last but not the bit least, the beauty and peace that exudes from your garden brought the magic close to this very appreciative viewer to your channel from Southern Hemisphere Australia. Thank you sincerely. 🐚🏖🌹💖
Im in Perth
Thanks so much Andrea ☀️🌿
What a wonderful day spent with you Marion. Really enjoyed it immensely. Had my crochet and a cuppa tea and definitely wish I had one of those scrummy almond fingers. My Nana used to make those so definitely and old recipe that one. CWA ladies definitely have that one in their recipe book. (Country Women's Association here in Australia for those who aren't aware).
Love your water colour. Your "mess" would be my masterpiece!!! Good lord it's gorgeous.
Thankyou again for a beautiful day. ❤❤❤
💐👍☀️🌊🌿
Joyful. ❤
Thank you ☀️🌊🌿
❤This is a glorious wheel you are making!
Thank you. I surprised myself by keeping it going! 🖌️
The garden is wonderful! The foxgloves are amazing 😊
🌼🌿
What a great trip to the beach. I love to wander the beach looking for treasures. Your video brought back such good memories. I could almost hear my Gran sing “I do love to be by the the seaside”. ❤
I'm singing it now! 🎶
@@marionsworld24 then fish and chips on way home.
Preciosos día junto a ti rodeada de hermosos detalles, gracias ❤
I'm so happy you enjoyed it all Marica 💐
