Snow and ice

Well it snowed in London - and probably our last snow in 'ol blighty before we head home.

Steve and Elly headed off to the park to enjoy some fun in the snow - Elly even has a colour coordinated coat and sled!


Then of course there was the obligatory snowman....


I headed off to the National Gallery for the final day of the Leondardo Da Vinci exhibition that everyone has been talking about (it was fab) and couldn't help but notice another snowman....


And then there were the fountains in Trafalgar Square...not quite defrosted.

Day 10 - half baked

Well it's the big day. Time for Herman the baked friendship cake to be unveiled.


Mixing, mixing, tasting, mixing...


And here he is in all his lovely cinnamony loveliness.

And then we got to eat him!

The other Herman's are off new homes to start their own journeys.

Day 9 - more feeding and some division

Well, it's time for Herman's final feed of flour, sugar and milk.

Then a good stir.

Followed by dividing in four. We keep one and make a cake with it tomorrow and we'll pass in the other three to friends so they can grow their own Hermans.

Herman - Day 8

While Bridie is out at the opera, Elly and daddy stir Herman.

Herman - day 7

Well Herman is still growing and we continue to whip him into shape.

It's been a wee bit cold here which explains why Elly is still wearing her hat!

Day 6 - growth spurt!

Herman had grown so big he was touching the towel.

Elly soon whipped him back into shape.
