cakes and things

The first inspiring point of today was reading about a lady who is making a victoria sponge cake with jam every day for one year to give away to friends and strangers. How delightful! Imagine how esctatic you would be if a cake just arrived out of the blue?  It's the little things. My Dad specializes in fielders cornflour sponges and once when I returned home after months travelling there sat a whole cornflour sponge with the word 'welcome' in icing sugar. Simply made my day it did bought a tear to my eye. Anyway I spent the rest of my day perfecting coffee and making pots and pots of tea. Loved seeing a little old couple come in looking very glamourous, she with her bright red lipstick, he in his suit and there they sat sipping english breakfast watching the world go by.
