Food for thought! Even my husband carries a fold up bag now. You make a good point about the desirability, Ruth. It would be a shame if someone’s work were not appreciated, but all we can dois try!

Thank you Margaret. I gave my brother-in-law one and he carries it around all the time in case he might need to buy something extra from the shops so I’m pleased they are well recieved by both men and women. I shall be packing Xmas gifts in Morse bags for the family – with gender sensitivity. As you say, all we can do is try

Wow Ruth…your guardian angel was on the ball that day!

Our guardian angel certainly was there Lyn…. and we joke that my dads spirit was there to save the whiskey and mums spirit was their to save the cake! . We certainly were very lucky.

Weddings are always emotional affairs, but that one certainly wins the prize. What lovely makes, too. A real labour if love. And to think I got fed up making 150m of bunting….

150 meters of bunting! I think that was certainly a labour of love Margaret.ese things always seem a good idea at the time – until you are in the middle of doing them . Thank you.

Wonderful story and what marvellous things you made. I can’t imagine the panic you must have been going through after that horrific crash! So pleased that all the important wedding things plus obviously you and your family survived the accident. That cake was a triumph! I love Stonny! xxx

Thanks Theresa. The panic was horrendous after the event but once we had another plan for getting there we were fine. I will pass on your message to Stonny

Thank you. I had not thought of using tracing paper before, but baking parchment.

It was quite thin tracing paper Maggie and I am not sure how the thin stuff would fare. Baking parchment would be good. Thanks.
