This morning was Parent and Toddlers as usual, we only had seven mums/Grandmas out, but no less mess or fun!
On the way home I spotted flashing lights up ahead and managed to divert down a side street, which was a good plan I subsequently discovered as it turned into a major incident with the air ambulance and the road closed/blocked for over three hours.
I had arranged to go to a family friend's house for lunch, with the promise of her speciality
Eggs Benedict....yum, so was thankful not to have spent the afternoon stuck on the road.
The lunch was amazing and I now don't want dinner...cant be bad!
She in turn loved my dessert offering of White Chocolate Torte and loved them in the tea cups.
She has her mums tea set with an ivy pattern on, and I thought that would make a lovely Christmas dessert with dried cranberries, crystalized orange slices and a mint leaf.
We spent the next few hours catching up on family news and talking over old times.
The time flew by and before I knew it the clock said 4.15pm!
That was a long lunch date!
For the past few days I have been thinking about ways to make a few pennies ( mourning the loss of the excess paid for my accident!) and wondered about resurrecting my knitting needles sales, which did
Before I had even put any serious thought into it, an online friend, who was my first customer and subsequently helped me with the graphics side of things and pimping up my ebay listings, emailed me out of the blue (not heard from her in several years!) to say she had a new project for her little shop in Lincolnshire I believe(!) and would I be able to supply her with some children's knitting needles!
Well what could I say!
So I am feeling excited to get that up and running, they were always popular at Christmas time...so I had better get cracking!
