Windsor Castle

I went to Windsor Castle today for a little jolly outing.

It was a bit freezy cold and cloudish, so I didn't take many pictures.

I certainly didn't take this one . . .

But it was a fun day out. Huzzah for castles!

origami

I've been doing some origami lately. Although nothing I've made has been as exciting as these big origami models I saw at bubble land tonight.

looking at the chickens

I've been very busy all week, looking after some tiny little creatures. They bob about around my knees, squawking and flapping their wings. Sometimes they peck each other, but on the whole they're a good little bunch.

When the food appears, I have their undivided attention!

Christmas (cake)

Hmm . . is this cake meant to be a penguin or a nun?

More cakery is available at this website:

cakes are here

birthday (cake)

Here I am - cooking! Huzzah!

Well . . .

here I am drawing faces on little cakes that someone else has made and also iced (frosted).

But still, huzzah!


What exquisite skill - what artistic vision and flair!

(What skill? indeed)

Birthdays are great! Cakes are great!

Huzzah for birthdays and for their cakes too!

Thanksgiving (cake)

Here's another splendid cake for us all to enjoy . . .

I found this picture on the same website as the Guy Fawkes cake.

Winter Wonderland

Well . . . this event was certainly a lot better than last year's effort.

There was plenty of food on offer.

There were crafts of all kinds.

There was even a snack hut shaped like a big fat bulb of garlic.

Maybe next year's Wonderland will really have that Christmas magic?

Guy Fawkes cake

As we say here in Jolly Old England . . .

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

No, of course I didn't make this cake! I found it on this site:
