Have you made those cakes, yet, gally? wink Hope the weather stays nice for your teaparty. Lovely here too.

Good morning Gally. I'm waking up at 5 quite regularly at the moment - its the daylight that does it. But it is fine with me. I need less sleep at this time of year.
Well I'm sure now day has dawned you have seen the sense of cleaning after the party... tidy before and clean after.
Jus a suggestion - think 1950s with the cakes - they would definitely have had jam not cream. But icing was popular. Rationing was just finally being phased out I think.
Hope your day goes well.

Gally, good luck, but I am sure your cakes will disappear at a great rate whatever you decide to do with them!

The sun has got his hat on
Hip-hip-hip-hooray!
The sun has got his hat on,
He's coming out today.

Good morning ..........

This afternoon we are having our Jubilee street party and the sun is out sunshine flag cupcake wine just going to make some buns and the Asti is chilling remembered the corriander so all set. Got gas for the BBQ and everything else is in hand.

Sitting in the garden with my cup of tea and feeling on top of the world.
Spent most of the weekend at the house and feeling like we have achieved what we set out to for this weekend so I feel happy, satisfied and eager to enjoy our party. sunshine

Well I'm up, showered, dressed!
I THINK I've packed everything?
Hand baggage with all last minute stuff feels heavier than suitcase confused

Sounds great, glass!! May the sun shine on you all day long sunshine!
Last night through our back windows, we watched a procession of torches which trailed up the Lomond Hill, which is about 6 miles away. We could see it easily even without binoculars, as the pathway was lit all the way to the summit where the beacon was lit at 10.30pm. It looked like an ancient 'rite', and made me realise that over thousands of years this may have happened quite often. smile

Well done jeni the stuff we ladies put in our hand baggage needs seeing to be believed.
