I saw this and thought of you

He he he, this is a good'un. Are you allowed to say this or do you have to keep it said only in the privacy of your own home? It is hand painted text on a vintage plate by a lady called Trixiedelicious.

Funny Flea Faces!

Birthday Cakes of 2006

It was the year of the 'special' cakes. They were BRILLIANT fun! So much sickness from icing and sweeties. The anticipation of not knowing what extra special surprise cake you were going to get was too much for the brain box to cope with!
February 2006
Arran's birthday synthesizer made by Lucy
The first of the series definitely set the standard very high.

April 2006
Lucy's Bird cake made by Helen and Arran
Such a beautiful (and tasty) little treat.


May 2006
Helen's Skull and Cross Bones Rock On cake made by Katy and Mark.
I still find it hard to believe that one cake could contain so many eggs. We used 18 large ones in total.

September 2006
Katy's Kiki and Kokos picnic cake made by Mark, Arran, Helen and Lucy
What a work of art. It drove me CRAZY not knowing what magic you were creating in the kitchen all day long. But there was no way I was even close to imagining just how much love was being cooked up. The detail was incredible...hummus and carrot sticks, roast chicken, fresh strawberries, a full tea set and sandwiches with jam inside. AMAZING!

September 2006
Marks Lionel the Lobster cake made by Katy, Lucy, Helen and Arran
He was so realistic Mark mistook him for a real lobster!

2007 - The year of the tray bake
2008 - The year of the Nigella cake?
I'm already salivating at the possibilities this year will bring. It'll be lovely to have a traditional shaped cake full of delicious flavours. Mmm.

These would be good

This mug was found in a charity shop by Hazel Nicholls who designed some of the posters sold by Keep Calm (below). Good innit. Don't think they are still made anywhere though. All places where mass tea orders are taken should have these.

Keep Calm and Carry On.

Well, if these aren't verging on perfect then I don't know what is. Its made by some people called Keep Calm! Can we both have one of each please, and one of each for the teashop too? PS: The Flying Duck is closing down and everything is reduced, they have some good tea cosies!

Tiny Little Friend

Hello,
I've finally made it. It's very nice here. So I am a little bit behind...but this is the tiny little dog that I think would make very nice friends with your knitted hound and if he was a little bit bigger would sit quite nicely in your basket at the front of your bike x

I want this life

I wasn't sure if you had seen this advert before you went... Oh, I want it so badly - look at the sweet blue tits doing the rubbish, the hedgehogs tidying up and the robin at the end .... hello my little friend!

Oooh yes, I really want one

Hmm, so I can't promise that I'm not just going to put loads and loads of maladjusted and sickeningly cute animals on here. I really like them. This is the dog I would like in my bike basket. 'Come on Wolfie'. 'No Wolfie, put the kitten down'. Oooh just imagine x x x
This was the highlight of the week from Metro.
