Stop apportioning the blame, you two :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) - I shall have to act as referee ;-)

GiN what where you baking for again??? :-D

I will sort Auntie Barb out tomorrow :-0 ;-)

Mersey - I was making cakes for our village's Macmillan Coffee Morning tomorrow - lots of big chocolate cup cakes :-D

I won't be going though - it's hosted by the Mother and Toddler group, and being in a room full of little ankle biters is my idea of hell! :-0 :-0 :-D ;-) ;-)

Mum is having one tomorrow GiN at home for family and friends......I think its a lovely way of collecting something for a great cause and coming together as a group.......

Lots of cake all round I think tomorrow everywhere.....

Hope it goes well for your day tomorrow GiN <3 <3

A nice adult get together sounds much more civilised :-D

I don't eat cakes myself, but I do like a nice scone :-D :-D

Me too GiN with no butter or cream just jam :-D <3 <3

Dont mention tarts otherwise GP will be here before you know it ;-)

I did have one or two lovely Portuguese custard tarts while I was on holiday - for breakfast! :-0 :-0 :-D ;-) - good thing I had my cholesterol test before I went, or it would have been much worse :-D :-D

They are gorgeous, though, and nothing like our English ones :-D

Now you have to tell me what they are like GiN, I was brought up as a little one on Manchester custard tarts, being as thats where Mum is from.....I could just eat one right now :-D :-D Look what you have started lol *licks lips* ;-)

They are very rich and sweet, smaller and flatter than ours, and the custard layer is quite thin. I think they use puff pastry. Best eaten warm :-D

Like this in fact .................... :-D

Now they are different to what I expected GiN... :-D :-D

They don't look much, really - but they are cholesterol city. No more for me! :-( :-(

Awwwww GiN maybe one every now and again ;-)

Well, maybe on high days and holidays ;-) ;-)

Life is too short to deny yourself everything :-D ;-) - but I'm good most of the time. :-)

So whats on the agenda for the next expedition GiN :-D

Three weeks today, we are going to Lanzarote for a week :-D

We have hired a villa, like we did in Cyprus last year. No jacuzzi hot tub this time, though! :-( :-D ;-)

I loved Lanzarote GiN, the first time I went was at Dads friends Villa
in Matagordor, near the airport but it was great !! Then a few times
to Puerto Del Carmen :-D :-D gorgeous..... <3 :-D

We really like Puerto Del Carmen :-D

This time, we will be a few miles to the south, at Puerto Callero. I love going to the market in Teguise on a Sunday :-D :-D

I liked it their GiN but the taxi driver scared the living daylights out of me when going to the market.....they do like to get their fast LOL :-0

:-D :-D :-D The driving will be in the very capable hands of my OH ;-) ;-)

My bed and book are calling, so I'll say goodnight, Mersey :-D :-D <3 <3 ;-)
