Okay - the weather was awful. I totally accept that. But the fact that, out of the 20 expected stallholders, only five turned up and the others didn't even bother to send apologies, was pretty disappointing.
As for customers - well if there were thirty all night I'd be very surprised.
Having said that I did sell a lot of cakes and took orders for Christmas, so came away with a reasonable profit considering.
Quite a few people took cards and showed a lot of interest, so that was encouraging. I suppose it will build gradually.
Now - what on earth am I going to do with all the leftover stuff? Looking at the weather at the moment, I'd be extremely surprised if Charles gets to work tomorrow as the Rothbury Road is impassable, so he probably won't be taking them to school with him.
Anyway, that's all the excitement out of the way for a while. I've got a small order to do for Saturday and a Christmas cake to get started, but that's about it for now.
Talking about saturday, the girls are off for a pamper day and should come home neatly trimmed (not too short, they'll get cold) and coiffed and smelling of baby powder. Lovely.

Which is exactly why Charles is taking crates of cake to Croftway today. Cheep, cheep!
