The simnel cakes turned out very well, as did the gingerbread.
The theory of making in advance didn't work out well as everyone kept having a piece, so there was only a bit left by today.
Never mind - it was enjoyed.
I had my shopping day on Thursday, ready for the weekend - 3 hours in Solihull, including coffee at M&S. Jan came to dinner & a chat, as Chris was away.
On Friday, I got the house ready for the weekend - J, G & family staying & the rest of the family for Sunday lunch - then off to Solihull to pick up J & Th from school & tea.
In the evening we went to friends in Sutton, for dinner - a good evening - home after midnight, so we saw the family on Sat morning.
J & G went shopping whilst we had fun with the g/children - great fun with the battery driven jeep.
Tired out, bathed & ready for bed by 7.30pm.
G did stirling work organising them in the garden while I baked cakes for Sunday church - coffee, lemon, 2 dozen fairy cakes, a dozen rock cakes & a malteser cake for home.
Church was a big success - congregation of 70, including 2o+ children, wearing hats labelled with the jobs mums do then hanging flowers on a Mum tree!
A big rush on the tea & cakes afterwards, then the church kept open all day, serving teas throughout.
There were fifteen of us for lunch - the dishwasher has done three runs & still has some of the tea things to do.
The seven g/children have had great fun playing together, mainly in the garden, on bikes & ride-ons & playing football with A.
I shall sleep well tonight!
W, Mk & little DK here tomorrow after DK has his operation in Manchester.
