I spent Friday and Saturday helping out a friend of mine with a few jobs that needed doing. And then I went out for tea on Saturday with DH - back to our local pub again. We've decided it's much better now it's been refurbished and will probably go for food quite regularly (I hope!). DD was also out Saturday night, with her boyfriend.
Yesterday was visiting day for us. DD was working so I went with DH to visit his mum first, and take her a tub of nice flowers for her garden, and then to my mums with a similar tub of flowers for her garden. I also took my fruit cake for my mum to taste, to see what she thought of my first attempt. And, as DD works not far from my mums, she met us there after she'd finished. And then home for a nice roast chicken meal.
After making the fruit cake last week, and remembering how much I enjoy baking, I decided to make a chocolate fudge cake last night too (without the fudge icing!). So, once I'd got the buttercream filling finished, and decorated the top, we all had a slice of slightly warm chocolate cake. Yummy!
Then today, after a bit of a lazy start, we got the rucksacks out and set off in the van. We'd decided to stay local, figuring that the Lakes would be busy on a bank holiday, and headed for the Lancaster Canal further north than we've walked on it so far.
It was a bit muddy in places ........
And we had my fruit cake back at the van! Yay!
Back to work tomorrow though ........
