Accomplished most of the tasks set for yesterday Washing done - thank goodness for a washing machine and dryer - it was raining cats and dogs for most of the day ! Managed to make my mince pies and put in the freezer , keeping out a dozen for imminent use ! Made a couple of pies , a quiche and a Victoria sandwich cake , Having had a snooze in between In spite of using my food mixer to do all the work I ended up with such backache ,hence the Christmas Cake is still just flat iced and not decorated !! it may stay like this with an artificial sprig of holly placed on top - for effect !!
Another wet and dismal day outside - shall have an easier day today !
Calamity - went to post and found my car's off side front light not working properly ! - so phoned and booked it in for to replace the bulb , time-slot 3.30pm - not looking forward to travel to Telford at that time of night !
Everyone of them looks delicious. Well worth the effort. My wife has been baking all sorts of goodies this past week and that also inclides mince pies.
I wish I had the inclination to bake, but it’s not something I particularly enjoy & Phil makes infinitely better cakes than me!!
Horrible rain & darkness for most of the day- looked like “the end of the world” this afternoon!
