I'm back!

Hello everyone, I can't believe it's been almost 4 months since my last post! I have been so busy, and I have done so many creative and interesting things that I decided it was time to start sharing them all with you again.

I've just finished making some canapés for a party this evening at Myer Bridge Farm, it is a joint birthday party for my best friend Annette's husband - Gavin, and her daughter Lauren. They are expecting around 50 guests and the theme is aviation & farming, my husband David is going as a farmer/country gentleman, and I'm wearing that all time classic ... the little black dress!
Some of my delicious canapés
I really don't think that fits either theme, although if you were to stretch your imagination you could say I was a passenger on a posh airline ... couldn't you? Anyway, Annette is also wearing her little black dress so at least I won't feel out of place. Gavin is coming as a pilot, which is quite good really as that's what he does for a living, yes ladies & gentlemen, please meet Captain Gavin Wightman!

The party starts at 7pm (officially), although I notice that David is on his second glass of beer ... lets hope he doesn't peak too soon! He needs to take it steady as he is off to Tweseldown in the morning for a Point-to-Point meeting. He works for the AGA Rangemaster Group and AGA are the National Sponsor of the Ladies' Open race series. This is their second season as national sponsor and between now and the beginning of May David will be out in the countryside somewhere in the UK representing the company every weekend.

I will be with him at most of the meetings although I am having a day off tomorrow for two reasons, one to recover from the party, and two so that I can get on with my preparations for Christmas. I am a little bit behind this year but I know what I need to do so I'm quite looking forward to a relaxing and creative Sunday.
