Look what Mark made for me. He knows I love cake stands and knows I love 80's music too which is pretty much all what we listen to in this house (Absolute 80's radio) so he combined the two and came up with this cool cake stand! I love it, though it wasn't much fun trying to explain to Roman what a record was as he only knows MP3's! He wanted Mark to show him how it worked, only we don't have a record player.
........and my lovely Cath Kidston bag off Mark its lovely and blue and floral and oh so pretty! He picked this all by himself - lovely!
Chunky crochet set off Anais and Roman, am saving this to do in the caravan...
Soap and Glory set off Anais and Roman, I LOVE Soap and Glory, smells delicious!
Anais made me a homemade card and a "mom" bracelet with her jewellery making set.
Roman made me two homemade cards, one with chocolate money in but he ate the chocolate money and left me the wrappers! He also thought I'd like some lovely soft orange fluff he brought home from school "because its so soft!"
This Jelly Belly Sizzling Cinnamon candle is Christmas in a tin! Delicious!
We went to Kingsbury Water Park for the day and took a picnic. Roman took his remote control boat.
Anais and Roman enjoyed themselves playing on the park.
We went for a ride on the Echills Wood Railway and got off at the end of the line.....
.....where we found some pretty waters...........
........and a rather freaky and spiky looking caterpillar.
We caught the train back, Roman had another go at sailing his boat and then went to mom and dads to cut the cake there.
Here is my Battenburg cake cut open, I used the smaller cake tins to make this one and only did two circles instead of the three circles I normally do when using the bigger cake tins as last time we had huge amounts of cake left over. It wasn't red inside though it was brown. Also, see the top isn't level? Not a cake to do in a hurry, next time WILL leave overnight with a book on top to level it out and decorate it in the morning.

When we got home I checked the food colouring label and it said......... "this product is not bake stable" arrrrrrrgh. N.B. to self - next time read labels before buying food colouring to see if icing or bake suitable.
I finished reading Marian Keyes "This Charming Man" last night and was pleased I had finished it as didn't enjoy it very much at all. So, do I download another from the library or steer clear? Anybody got any recommendations?
