Started at about 5am when Rose needed to go out to be a bit unwell - obviously they've got a bit of a bug as it's no longer confined to Lily, who, happily, seems to be on the mend.
Managed about an hour's kip after that then we were up for the day at 6.00 (Well, I was, but Charles wasn't) and got going with carrot cake, bakewells, shortbread and cupcakes. Also tried some apple crumble tarts that are fab and will be going to Jesmond for sampling.
Got all the cakes frosted, then made a start on Sunday lunch, as we're being joined by James and Claire. Roast chicken and all the trimmings, including Yorkshire and pigs in blankets at James's request and a mountain of stuffing for Claire!!!!
Have written all the labels for Kevin, so that at least people know what's on offer. Yesterday, there were no labels and no prices - on ANYTHING!! Aaaargh!
Right, lunch is getting to that crucial stage, so I'll get back to it...
