As I've yet to be called to the Enquiry to explain what I was doing on that fateful night ten years ago in Paris, I guess I may as well tell you about my fab (long) weekend.
This is an indication of the lovely weather that we had, cold but lovely and clear. For those who would like to know which part of Up North this scene is, it's Ilkley Moor, upon which if someone comes across a mobile pohne can you let me know. It's not mine, but Ceinwen's.
Sunday was definately 'Cake Sunday'. This is just one of a batch of pancakes that we ate through on Sunday. The batch was made up with nine eggs and was very tasty. My preference was either the Maple Syrup (Canadian) or surgar/lemon juice.
This was followed by this cake. There is only the one pound of butter used in the butter icing and it was delicious.
The second cake was this one, which was chocolate. To describe this cake as being rich would be doing it an understatment. You could feel your arteries clogging just by looking at it.
And importantly there were friends (old and new), without which getting through all that cake would have been a struggle. Because there was friends there was also much silliness. Playing the boardgame version of Blockbusters in the pub and going to the local park to play on the swings.
And on the skate park.
I'll have you know that I'm the current world champion driver in wheelbarrow races.
