Meeting Lucy..............

IMG_7862 One of the things I enjoy most about blogging is the interaction with people I meet along the way, friendships that begin with comments on my blog.............. Lucy from attic 24 is someone I've had a lively correspondence with from the beginning........... you get a good sense of her warm personality from her blog............... IMG_7860 .......... So when Lucy and her family booked their holiday near to where I live, well........... we had to meet up! IMG_7865 Now, I know for a fact that if I had been going to Lucy's house, she would have whipped up some amazing baking............ my packet biscuits were a poor substitute......... These knitted cakes are more representative of what I would liked to have brought to the coffee table.......... edible versions that is............. Next time Lucy and her lovely family visit, I shall be more organised. There's nothing quite like planning ahead is there...............................

I would have loved to have had a
"Keepsake Cake" to take home
in a party bag...
they look good enough to eat
and have the {:>)))) factor...

Lucy @ Attic24

Awwwwwwwwwww, I was just catching up with your posts I missed while on holiday and my heart almost skipped a beat when I saw my name there!
Oh you are so sweet, the biscuits and fresh coffee at yours were scrumptious, there was no need for anything more...and a pretty good job you didn't leave those knitted beauties within my grasp because I may just have stolen them and run off with them! They are fantastic!

I felt so bad coming to your house empty handed Vanessa, of course because we were on hols I could not bake and I said to J when we were driving up that I really wanted to go buy a cake to bring, but we couldn't find anywhere to stop to get one....next time, next time, surely there will be a next time? It was such a treat to meet you, I felt as if we had known each other for years. The wonder of Blogland, it never ceases to amaze me.
have a great day
