1956 was a very good year !
Just as your O.H ,L.M, mine was not very sentimental but great ( often hideous ) bouquets of flowers would arrive. !
Presents yes, but few words when they would have sufficed.
We are all different aren’t we .
G,Daughter is a good baker, and did well through lockdown ,and earned a good amount with her baking but like her G.Dad is an accountant .
She got her food hygiene certificate because every Saturday at the showroom ( motor cycles, ) they do food for browsers looking for a new bike ,it has developed into a sort of club,and the customers are very loyal, like a big family really.
Flash Harry and now Kyra also are big attractions as is the family dog!
I used to make all the family cakes ,for all sorts of occasions , but never our own .My daughter did our Golden Wedding and grandchildren helped so it was simple but meant so much.
I never charged anyone but made it my gift or I would have worried .
I was staggered at the prices charged ,by confectioners for a three tier rich fruit cake fully iced .
Daylight robbery.
Well have a little gift for F,H who goes into the Juniors ,so need to get to the Post.
Cheerio. Thanks for the gentle but interesting snippets of news .They have been a real boon throughout Covid and still are,,
I hope Roobarb is O.K ,not seen a post from her for a while.
Cheerio everyone.
Viktoria.
