Got up & had a raspberry shake before driving down to Blandford Forum to see the lady who's made the wedding cakes for us. She's an old friend of h2b's mother's - he hadn't seen her for about 12 years & I've never met her before so was a bit daunting!
All turned out very well, she's fab & it was great to meet her. H2B had warned her that I was on a diet so wouldn't be eating, and one of the first things she asked me was whether it was LL! Turns out that a lady in her office has just come through it & lost 4 st in 4 months, so was great not having to explain everything to her. She sounded genuinely interested in what I was doing, and made the staying for lunch much easier to cope with! Think I've been really lucky with our weekends away from home, what with h2b's mother having done CD too! Does help when the people you're with understand what you're doing!
After lunch we popped out to see her horses (one has just had a foal, 2 weeks old now & very cute!) Took a load of photo's, will load one on here but h2b has taken the camera to Ireland with him this week so will have to wait till he gets back! Looked at the cakes - they look absolutely fantastic (& huge!), she's been feeding them whiskey too! Will hand them over to my mother next weekend so that she can get them white-iced ready to go down to h2b's Nana to do the decoration. This is going to be one well-travelled cake by the end of it!!
Didn't get home till 8pm & we were both knackered - had a pack then went to bed as h2b has a very early start in the morning - he's off to Cork this week with work & needs to go into the office before he heads off!
