My brother in law Tim, Sister Janet , Aunt Judy and me before the cake hungrey hordes from Prestatyn decended on the open day |
I won't wax too lyrically about the second of the family open days organised to raise money for the Motor Neurone Association, I will leave that up to Janet on her blog site....suffice to say that well over a hundred people turned up in the sunshine to see Ann and Tim's garden and to stuff themselves with dozens of home made cakes.....
After a few hours of slicing victoria sponges and dropping scones onto plates...I quite happily could have not spied another piece of confectionary for a couple of years...... but the slog has been worth it....
I am knackered now......have just dropped some left over fairy cakes and quiche to the pigs ( who sucked up the egg and cheese filling with their eyes shut in blissful excitement!) and am now going to try to catch half an hours sleep before going to work on nights
"Cakes" as far as the eye could see |
well done john

ReplyDeleteOn behalf of all piglets everywhere, I wish you a gushing 'well done'!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a job well done, hope the night shift is uneventful. Spent this afternoon preparing yet another presentation along the lines of safety, quality and effectiveness for another NHS interview this week.

ReplyDeleteLook at those proud and happy faces all ready to serve those soddin' cakes. Good job well done.
ReplyDeleteGood on you and your band of helpers John - hope you raised loads of much needed cash.
ReplyDeleteYum! I would have come and assisted, particularly now I've seen the fine baking on offer. Congratulations all.
ReplyDeleteGlad the sale went so well! :)
ReplyDeleteWhich is also precisely how I like to enjoy my sweets or some gooey cheese - eyes blissfully squeezed shut! Well done John.
ReplyDeleteI know that you don't do anything for the praise John, but I will add my 'well done' to you and all the others and tell you that you look pretty good in an apron! :-))
ReplyDeleteOh those cakes! W
ReplyDeleteWish I was nearer. Good job all!
After reading the last post as well as this one...from one nurse to another....I admire your work. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteA job well done. I just want to see how long you hold to your "No more Soddin' cake" resolution.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S what I call YUM!
ReplyDeleteWell done you for helping out! You are a good support for your family, and hope you feel proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt's so soddin worth it....Well done all of you...xxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats and well done. Sorry but I'm a bit of a heathen when it comes to cakes - no matter what kind of cake, I can only eat them with Ambrosia Devon Custard! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI had to click on that second picture to get a better look at those lovely - and oh-so-British -cakes. Next time you have leftovers, just pop them into the mail and send them to Canada. I'll even cover the postage!
