I don't know what to tell you first as I have 2 pieces of good news - I can hardly contain myself! Firstly, as you can see, I found on Ebay another of 'my' tins but this one has handles on it. I was so nervous as I bid for it that I found that my hand wouldn't work and I was shaky! I could hardly look to see if I had won..I did and it arrived 2 days later on Saturday.
Secondly, and this is a BIG bit of good news - I went and bought a new camera yesterday...a Nikon D50! Wayhay! I can hardly believe it but feel quite frustrated as it is so new and I don't know how to work it properly. That's typical of me and should give myself more slack... The above picture was taken by it though it took ages loading the disk onto the computer - I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon! Aren't I a very blessed girl indeed - what a week!
Thank you for all your kind comments about Alice's cake. No, I'm afraid that I didn't bake it myself I bought it in Sainsburys. You will soon get to know me and realise that I really don't like cooking in any shape or form (love eating though!) and even though, in the past, I have done the birthday cakes etc these days I would rather be sewing! It is one sore point of mine because I feel I am a bad Mummy because I don't do baking with them - I long to be a super-mummy that not only bakes but grows her own fruit and vegetables and serves them up to her family in wonderfully nutritious meals. I have one dear friend who knows me well and when she does baking she puts a few goodies aside for my family. I wonder if it's because I was brought up in a large hotel and never saw my mother cook, though my father is a wonderful cook and one of the lovely things about visiting him is that he cooks for us all.
Still, what I do make isn't particularly good but it is usually served up on pretty plates with a smile (relief dinner is made and finished if truth be known!!)
