debris4spikeAs I said, Nick and family came for the day yesterday and it was a hectic, but lovely day.
In the afternoon Jiffy and I took the visitors out for a walk to Watcombe Beach, and Woods ... while Mum and Dad made tea ... as you can see she had already made the Simnel cake ... and, yes, there are only 11 eggs around the edge.
Jiffy hoping to persuade one of the boys to go and play in the garden while the washing up is being done!
Watcombe Woods
These caves were a Victorian Tourist Attraction - before the trees grew as tall and in sunlight (as they are south facing) they must have looked a stunning red. That's Thomas and Joseph enjoying the extra climb.
Brenda proving she is as daring as her boys.
Nick proving that he is willing to lead his boys astray!
Guess who?
Nick, Brenda and Andrew (so with Daniel on camera duty, that's us all!)
... Not forgetting young sir!
A rare picture of Nick laughing.
So, as you can see it was a great way to spend an hour.
For those who suggested photos for me to take (last week) Thank You ... you have given some great ideas and they will be up as and when I get them taken ... I will link back to the original request so that you don't miss it.

Date: 2010-04-06 07:11 pm (UTC)Simnel cake has a hidden layer of marzipan in as well. The tradition of 11 eggs is that on Easter Day only 11 of the 12 desciples were alive (Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus) had committed suicide. Sometimes there aren't the chicks (a modern addition,) but there is one egg in the centre to represent Jesus.
