WHAT HAPPENED...

... TO ME TODAY?

No blogging?

This isn't like me at all.

We still haven't heard anything from Christina since she landed at Heathrow yesterday. Her phone seems to be dead. I think we're both pretty anxious and just want to hear SOMETHING from her.

Actually we've had a pretty good day today. After the rugby, we went down to Morpeth where I must have tried on about a dozen different Mother of the Groom outfits. Some of them (well, ALL of them to be honest) were absolutely gorgeous, but the sort of outfit I would only ever wear once.

So, I HAVE chosen one (AND brought it home!!) that I love to bits and that I will be able to wear on more than one occasion. It would need to be a pretty posh do and admittedly we don't go to many of those, but I will get to wear again.

Feel very well organised now!

Got home and did some gardening - well Charles did and then Chris came and staked the Kilmarnock willow so that it now stands upright.

I made a batch of strawberry macarons which are currently standing and firming up before going in the oven later. Also, put in some orders for more baking sheets and packaging as I'm hoping that these little beauties are going to take off in a big way.

Had a long and productive chat about three birthday cakes that are coming up shortly. Complicated stuff, but I think I know what I'm doing now.

Absolutely beautiful day today. Warm and sunny, not in the least like a mid-October day!
