‘Oh Murphy!’
‘Why did you have to apply your laws to me today?’
It started out easily enough…
1. Drop Kiddies at school.
2. Meet Frances for coffee and croissants.
3. Chat.
4. Short school day so collect Kiddies at noon.
5. Have Kiddie-Friends over for afternoon play.
In the midst of coffee and chat, I glance at my wrist to check the time. Oops, no watch. Forgot to put it on this morning. No bother, have a clock on my mobile phone. Reach for mobile. Rats, no phone. Left it in coat pocket in car. Not a problem, Frances has a watch on. Will have her check time periodically.
Yep, chatting takes priority and when we look at the time, it’s 12.15 and we’re at least 10 minutes away. I run to the register to pay while she phones the school. Thankfully, School-Mum-Friends are waiting with the Young’uns. And all the stereotypical comments about Americans always being on time are swooshed away.
So what did I do while the Kiddies-and-Friends were playing on this rainy day?
Thank you baking.
Oh scrummy mummy! Can I have a little bite? Yum!

Hi Cheryl…thanks for leaving a message..it really is appreciated. The wheel comes from a Canadian company made by a chap called Gord Lendrum and is made from maple. I think there is a picture of it down further under heading Per Chance dated 22nd Feb. Am quite excited but a bit erm…but as you put am looking forward to it hopefully being a relaxing new craft to learn…by the way those cakes….scrummy.

Mmmmm! I think I’ll postpone dieting one more day and bake something good, wish I could make something as delish looking as yours.
