Gill's Cactus...

When Duncan sadly died and Gill moved out of their house we adopted one of their lovely cacti.  Just after the first Christmas we had it, a single white flower opened and I was convinced it was Duncan's way of saying hello!  This year the whole cactus has come out in glorious bloom and I like to think it is Duncan's way of celebrating Gill's newfound happiness with Ian...

VCP Sartorius Cake Sale

Helped out at Harry's school cake sale today, even though he is not in Sartorius House!  Previous experience shows there's sometimes a struggle providing enough cakes for every boy to buy 4...thats a total of 1200 cakes!  Anyhow luckily we just had enough thanks to one kind mummy who baked about 6 huge lemon drizzle cakes which we hurridly cut up into as many pieces as possible and having told the boys lemon cake helps them excel at maths they were snapped up!  Here's my contribution...
