Cake anyone?

So I'm awake ...... and the sky is very grey/gray!! But as long as it doesn't rain - it'll be fine! However, BBC weather doesn't look promising :o(

Seeing as I'm awake thought I'd show you some pictures I took yesterday morning ... but a little explanation first!! Simon and I met in September 1999 in Yahoo chat. I had a brand new computer and it was my first night in a chat room! Simon lived on the Isle of Man and I was in Kent. We spoke for a week online and then he asked for my phone number and we talked constantly! My phone bill for that quarter was in excess of £200 and would have been more except that my BT calls were only 1p a minute after 6pm!! Then in the October he came over for a long weekend and at Christmas I went to Douglas - the Isle of Man was/is beautiful BUT there was next to no chance of me getting a teaching job there - I don't speak Manx and the government makes a point of giving jobs to Manx people first! So in April 2000, Simon moved over here and ...... here we are!!

Anyway, my friend Mandy had told me about the fab cakes her Mum makes and disliking fruit cake as I do ..... I felt a bit of chocolate or carrot cake would be appropriate!! I also thought I would surprise Simon with a special cake for the wedding ...... so, here it is!!

Thank you all so much for your good wishes - as I type, Simon is trying to find the last of the glasses we hired and I am taking painkillers and off back to bed!

As I said to someone yesterday - that was the best wedding I'd been to in ages!
