This morning I thought it was time to get the icing on the cakes, on Friday we are off to deliver them so best get them covered ready for decoration. I carried them through to the bedroom where I have a kitchen gate leg table, have had it years and it is craft, quilting and cooking friendly! Got them iced before going down to get dinner and to get on with some decorations.

I melted chocolate and tried painting the back of a few holly leaves that I managed to acquire yesterday, the less said about that the better! The idea is that I should be able to remove them from the actual leaves and they will be veined, that is to be proved!

I also covered the marzipan holly leaves I had cut out earlier with some chocolate, so if the others don't work I have a back up plan for cake decorating!

After dinner and finishing making decorations downstairs I was aching so watched a Dr Blake episode before taking a short walk up onto the cliff top, just to get a bit of fresh air. Took a picture of the bay looking north.

One towards the castle.

Then one looking inland!

The sky was quite pretty this afternoon. Also took one of the pattern of foam on the sea.

I had taken a book with me but didn't sit there for very long as the wind was quite chilly. I cut some snowflakes out of left over icing before I cleared away the chaos in the bedroom.

So the cakes will get decorated one way or another. Strictly results tonight and Planet Earth ll, the last one I think. Strictly results will be interesting, all very good.
