Seems ages since we had a quiet corner bolt hole, so how about a new seasonal one ? Just a little spot to come and visit from time to time and re-charge batteries.

I've left a plate of mince pies on the table and a flask of hot chocolate, so help yourselves. Does anyone have any nice scented candles?

Take a bow gracesmum and accept a round of applause. I have heard that so called friendship cake is a beast from the dark lagoon, you have to keep feeding it and if you are not careful if fills not only your fridge but that of all your acquaintances with an insatiable life form. Just remember that it is alive.
