Time for Tea!


As I commented earlier today to Mrs J....."Faffing is very exhausting and time consuming and so terribly difficult to get right. If you don't faff to the correct standard it's just messing and messing will never do."


So today I have faffed with this set of Bell China.  Sugary pink with black polka dots, its so stylish.

Mr V was sent off to M & S this morning to purchase a bag of pink and white marshmallow hearts, that were just perfect for the photos.
 Despite telling him the precise location of the mallows, he still had to ring whilst in the shop and grumbled that he couldn't find them.    So I had to direct him over the phone and eventually he managed!
Just waiting for him to finish drilling some plates then I can make matching cake stands too......ooh think I will need some fondant fancies for that photo.

A Saturday Outing










A Saturday Outing.

"Fancy a trip out Mother?" asked Mr V.  

So dressed in our "Sunday Best" on a Saturday, off we went.


Mr V surprised me by planning an afternoon at The Lakes.

We called at Penrith, Keswick and Grasmere and had a wander around the shops.



I found lots of delights and Mr V kindly carried my shopping.  But shopping is thirsty work, so we stopped off for tea and cake, before the long journey home.
