Bit of a frantic morning. Made three-tier carrot and chocolate cakes, bakewells, blueberry tarts, mince pies, ginger cupcakes, brownies and cheese scones. Phew!!
Met Helen and co at the Village Inn and had a huge and very enjoyable lunch. We all came back here for coffee and a chat (mostly at James's expense! Sorry Jim - "Warpath Redpath" was at his naughtiest!!)
When they'd gone I got everything crated up ready for tomorrow, as we have a very early start as Charles has to be at the RVI by 9am. The plan, as I understand it, is that I drop Charles of in Gosforth and James drives him into town. I go to Radcliffes to do the delivery. I then go back to James's and we go off for brunch in Jesmond , then into town. We wait to see how long Charles will be, and depending on that he either comes back with me, or James picks him up later and brings him home. I THINK that's what's supposed to be happening.
If I get back reasonably early I'll make a start on the next order, as things certainly seem to be hotting up in the coffee shop and orders are getting pretty serious now!
I'm delighted to say that I can almost see my dining table after weeks of it being covered in Christmas cakes. Just three more to deliver and then we're done.
Oh, forgot to say, we wrapped and be-ribboned all the family and school Christmas presents this afternoon, so that's another good job done.
Time to relax now I think.
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!
