Fruit cake

There's nothing like a piece of homemade fruit cake to see you through the morning (thanks to Mother-in-Law).

The weather today is just awful; we could be in mid-November. Bizarre really, as the kids usually go back to school in a blaze of sunshine until the end of September. Is this Autumn/Winter starting early for us this year I wonder?

Apart from eating the cake, I am catching up on my work, with several deadlines to meet. I've walked the dog (wellies and raincoat both came out of the cupboard today), and won't be going anywhere else until it's time to collect the kids from school.
