Marzipan dreams

There was possibly a large delivery coming today for the parish hall garden. Tina was going to be out and about and said could I get them to put the delivery in the garden. I went to unlock the gate we rarely use and found the brambles had taken hold. That is the gate the visitors came through when we had open garden, it was bramble free then! I cleared the stands across the steps, the rest can wait until another day!
The rest of the day I spent in the kitchen, except for going to the shop for more marzipan! I was going to do just the cakes that are going to Peterborough, but ended up doing fourteen! Cleared away in time to get dinner on the go!
The throat isn’t quite so sore except when I cough, but think it will soon be better. Bit of positive thinking there!
I hadn’t done a sketch and Pandora has now been sleeping on me for about an hour and a half. So a very awkward for me to sketch her, but gave it a go.
I think it will be Shetland on in a bit, so need to encourage her to move now!

  1. If food grew as quick as weeds do then there’d be no starvation in the world! One of gods little jokes 🙂 Another job to add to your ever growing things to do in the garden!
    That’s a good stack of cakes you’ve got there. You must be sick of the sight of cakes and marzipan! Well at least mines almost finished, so that be one less 😊
    That’s a nice sketch of Pandora. Bet she didn’t look that cute on her travels yesterday!
    Hope you sleep a bit better tonight.

  2. Not too bad a night, it hurts to cough but didn’t cough too much in the night. Making up for it now!
    Will get the icing soon and now I have to think how to decorate them!
