Cake Making

As soon as the boys were awake they wanted to know when they could make cakes, so after breakfast Jake and I cleared the kitchen and he set too to make the cakes, he broke the egg measured the butter and the water and set to work to beat it all together.

As soon as they were cold Jake and Daniel cleared off the dining room table and with the cakes shared out and decorations divided between them they set to work.

 

Daniel with his finished cakes as he was first not many decorations left.

 

 

Jakes cakes are finished but he could not resist liking out all the bowls

 

 

Daniel thought he had better try the cakes this was his second one

 

 

Jake found there was some icing left

 

 

Daniel finished eating his second cake then decided as Jake was eating up all the decorations he would have a go.  I just love this picture.

 

 

Jake decided to save his cakes for later but just had to make sure all the bowls were clean

 

 

 

 

Visit to Garden Centre

Barry and the boys came to visit for the weekend as it was my birthday in the week and between the showers we went to the garden centre in Sherborne as they were going to buy me a rose tree and one for Patrick both extra birthday gifts.

While we were there they had a Hedgehog day we had to go round and find 12 hedgehogs and then go to the butterfly house, where we learnt about them the boys made a hedgehog and had cakes.  It was very interesting as Barry and Sarah have just found one in their garden and I am trying to encourage them.  Jake asked some good questions and liked the white one.

Jake and Daniel working really hard

Birthday

Had a great birthday received some nice cards and presents, best part I spoke to my grandchildren in USA on Skype before they left for school and to my grandchildren in Bristol when they came home from school on google plus.  Computers make everyone seems so much nearer.

So after going to keep fit, Patrick took me out to lunch at the The Lime Kiln Inn first time we have been here but we would go again.

While talking to Siew Gin a large box came.

Inside the box was a lovely miniature standard rose

 

 

Showing the head of the rose it has lots of buds and will be covered in flowers

 

Thank you Siew Gin, Alan, Tyler and Cody for the lovely rose.
