It's been a busy couple of days ... I had to clean the house, for one thing!

It was Claire's 50th birthday last week and so I had invited them to lunch today. However, unknown to them, I had also invited Nick, Brenda & the 4 boys as well. So, cooking for 9 (and the 4 boys all have "hollow legs") ... hard to decide what to do.

I chose a chicken casserole (on the stove), cheesy mash (in the oven) and frozen beans. Then for pudding a made Dutch Apple Cake, Pineapple Upside-down Cake, and Treacle Tart.

Then we had a walk, and Brenda had made a birthday cake ... and 3 lots of biscuits/cakes that I had made.

So lots of cooking and cleaning ... but the day went well. I will post a couple of photos at some point.

And that explains the lack of posting yesterday, or catching up with you all over the last couple of days. So ....

February 9 - What is your love language?

Huh!!

February 10 - Who was the first person you told you loved them?

Dad .... I know that as Mum reminded me over the years how jealous she was!
