Well hello, I'm back again offering another intermittent post although if I can work out the technology I will put some pictures on this one! Life has been very busy here making cakes and looking after small people who have had rather nasty flu like things. Plus the challenge of Bracken our lovely Spanish Water Dog puppy who is rebelling slightly after having her coat clipped last week - maybe she's feeling the cold, or maybe she just doesn't like going out without her clothes on! I was toying with the idea of getting her a coat, but then I decided that she would look even more ridiculous among the black Labradors at the school gates in the afternoons.
Euan and I took the dogs for a walk this afternoon in this very blustery autumn weather, I struggled to share his fascination at hitting things with a stick he had found while he was walking, but we both enjoyed throwing twigs and leaves into the stream and watching them float away.
I am now sat here trying to decide what sort of cake to make him for his 2nd birthday - he has asked for a "choo, choo" cake but has also asked for a Pingu one, I was planning something not too taxing so that I could focus my efforts on designing Christmas cupcakes but then on reflection I have decided that he is far more important so I am off now to try and gather some inspiration (ooh and to eat Chocolate Cornflake Cakes).......
