We invited our new neighbours round for coffee this morning. We needed to discuss with them the plans for taking down the three large trees that border both properties, plus we thought it would be a good opportunity to get to know them better.
I am most definitely not a good baker so I went to the local Co-Op and bought a lemon drizzle cake, a coffee and walnut cake and some Border Biscuits dark chocolate gingers to go with the coffee.
They only nibbled one small piece of cake each so now P and I will be forced to finish off the rest all by ourselves this weekend.
How dreadful.
My heart breaks for you. Why do bad things happen to good people? PS: pass the cake, sistah.
ReplyDeleteOut of consideration for your figure I shall endeavour to scoff the lot.
DeleteOh, that's terrible - I really feel for you!
ReplyDeleteLife can be cruel sometimes.
DeleteDamn. If only we lived closer I'd happily help you with those cakes and biscuits.
ReplyDeleteAnd you would be most welcome, Linda.
Delete"More tea vicar? You have ate all the flipping cake". A nice problem to have JayCee.
ReplyDeleteCould be worse 😉
DeleteSave me a slice of the lemon drizzle, JayCee! I'll pop over soon! :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
Hurry up before it's all gone!
DeleteI'm sure you will manage the cake!!
ReplyDeleteI am doing my best!
DeleteLet them eat cake! I hope you came to an amicable agreement over the trees.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, very amicable. They are very friendly people.
DeleteMy wife makes Lemon drizzle cakes. She uses a Mary Berry recipe, and they are very very good!
ReplyDeleteI am rubbish at cake making, and baking in general.
DeleteWe think it has all been said. Food waste is a dreadful thing so pleased to know you have a plan. Now about the trees....
ReplyDeleteWatch this space...
DeleteGlad that the meeting went well and you are now faced with manfully (and womanfully) having to deal with the cake mountain! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteP has already completely demolished all the lemon drizzle.. just the coffee and walnut left now.
DeleteOh no ..... life really does throw us some unexpected problems sometimes, doesn't it ? All that cake and what to do with it ? You are just going to have to bite the bullet and eat it all ...... make the ultimate sacrifice !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI have !!!
Deletexxx
What a pain to have to eat it up yourselves. I am always dieting so if cake is made for visitors we insist they take the remains with them!
ReplyDeleteOops.. too late. P has finished it all off.
DeleteFreeze a cake or two for another time...
ReplyDeleteToo late!
DeleteOh, no! How tiresome of them. I never seem to have that problem here, especially when the grandkids visit.
ReplyDeleteI think the neighbours were too polite to take second helpings
