Star Baker?

It's a bad enough accolade to have for being the only person His Lordship maintains can burn a pizza, without being the same person who can burn mince pies

These were not any old mince pies, not even M&S mince pies, no, these were the much lauded mince pies from the Iceland store at the end of a not inconsiderable trek by bus.

They suffered their unattractive singeing because of negligence on my part. They were sufficiently burnt not to be offered to our guests, Joppa Strand and Tiggy, but fortunately just the thing for HL who likes nothing more than the taste of charcoal. At least it keeps his teeth white even if the pundits tell us it is carcinogenic.

There was much catching up to do with our talented guests and the morning went all too quickly. It is amazing how the Blipfoto site has rewarded us with so many good friends we would not have found otherwise.
