One thing leads to another….

It’s been quite a week. Some of our young friends are in the throes of moving house and, like most parents, we want to help. Their current home is not as big as the new one so there are pieces of furniture required to make use of all the rooms – this is where we step in. Commitments and age hamper our practical input, but furniture is something we have. So having waved off a van full of “stuff” we then had to reorganise various places/rooms to make better use of the space we’ve gained. Several hours later, after much discussion (not argument) I think we’ve done it, but probably I’ll do more tweaking tomorrow. The upshot of all this is that my usual “Cake Friday” delivery just didn’t happen because I hadn’t had time to make any cake. I know I should have planned better but there really wasn’t a moment! So, next week I’m going to be making them one of their favourites, fruit cake, and spread butter on each slice. The young people? They are exhausted. Showered and waiting for a delivery of something they haven’t had to prepare for themselves. We’ve all been there haven’t we, but isn’t it exciting?! x
