so, what makes a wedding? the cake. . .

a cake to cut on top
and cupcakes on the bottomI didn't try a chocolate butterfly cake,
but the rosebudded cakes had lemon icing

YUMMY!!
(I didn't make them, but would have done if asked)

fancy a nibble?

NOBGM is taking me to a party tonight. . . we made some cupcakes for the birthday boy. . . any guesses who!

(it's alright, I don't really expect you to follow the details of my life - but here's a clue: NOBGM and the birthday boy last summer)

what a carry on

you, dear reader, may recall when we visited the WW2 poster early last year, when its logo was my mantra. . .well, it seems that popular culture has now overtaken me without my even noticing! how did that happen? so, in times of social dilemma, what's a girl to do?or, even better! actually, maybe cupcakes aren't the answer to everything. . .

sometimes one loses one's cool. . .
and what about the economic situation?
alternatively. . .
or just give infancy a t-shirt to go with that?on the other hand, some of us are thrifty and constructive in times of trouble!and some of us (me!) are really interested in typeface. . .anyone out there need a guide for what to do during the year?and in the meantime, there's always the British answer to everything

a tortoise called Henry

at a picnic in Primrose Hill

I sat in the shade of that tree yesterday (the big one in the middle), where I was joined by Henry. . .

(tortoises are much faster than you imagine - at times it was hard keeping up with him!) we were entertained by many things - one of my favourite being listening to 78s from the '30s
played on a wind-up gramophone:
ever wondered where the phrase "put a sock in it" comes from? how else do you think you could quieten down the sound from one of these:

I came second in a game of croquet! (don't tell anyone, but I did cheat a little. . .) (how else is someone supposed to win at croquet?)

there was lots of delicious food. . . my favourite being the box of cup cakes that someone brought from here (check it out - they are amazing!)

it was fun - it was also the first time I've been to a social thing for a very long time and I was totally out of practice at talking to people. . .
