The cake...

...is ready. Covered the marzipan in chocolate and added the stars late on Tuesday evening. Looking forward to trying it!

Finished the Christmas food shopping this evening in Alnwick. Only the Brussels sprouts are missing - the supermarket had sold out. (Have people been panic buying in response to rumours of a shortage ?!) So, tomorrow we will be going on a sprout hunt...

Rather headachy this evening - very unlike me. Suspect I'm fighting one of the many nasty little bugs that seem to be doing the rounds.
