Also this week we had two Birthdays (lack of Dining room was a slight issue but never mind)
Managed to find time to bake this cake.
Lorraine Pascals dense chocolate cake, choc fudge icing finished with dark kit kats around the edges and topped with orange aero balls, milky way stars, giant white buttons and mini smarties (just a few calories there then!)

And on and on.....
Builders doing a fab job given the weather, either torrential rain or its too cold for the bricks to be laid, The new roof goes on next week then we can get to the fun bit of making the insides.
Meanwhile am acquiring all the fun bits and pieces to make it really special, My dining room is a little bit full! it honestly doesnt normally look like that!

Also getting on with painting the big beds for London and Chipping Norton, thankfully we have the able assistance of Mrs duck
