We tried to have a walk to Waitrose for a coffee this morning, but got half way and realised it wasn't worth it - we were already drenched and windswept and frozen.

Instead we had a cuppa and a cake with Grandad, and read the auction catalogue for the house his grandparents bought in 1933 (£300 for 2 cottages in 1/2 acre? Please.)

I went home to ice this cake (raspberry & pistachio), then went to meet selena when she finished work. Saw lots of old work people (lots of hugs), then to Annabel's for the most chilled out getting-ready ever.
