It was great fun! I was a little short of milk so we borrowed half a cup from my neighbour. Later Rosie wrote a thank you note, and we took it round with a cake on a little doily.
Alwyn was thrilled [and politely pointed out that I had coloured sprinkles in my hair] I've done an End Of Term WP Day before, with a SATS class of just four children. Liz and Jon collected Ro early, as I was attending the funeral of a neighbour. Everything was clean and tidy at Cornerstones, so I altered my plans - I got back from church, changed out of my dress and heels*, and drove back to Dorset. Halfway home I stopped at South Mimms Services and called Bob. He was both surprised and delighted. I spent Saturday doing... nothing - except enjoying being back home.
* allegedly, Amish children opened their lunchbox and cried 'Whoopie!' when they saw the cakes
**it's nearly 5 months since I put on a pair of tights. It felt weird.
Have you ever made Whoopie Pies?
When did you last wear tights and heels?
Q1: never, but I enjoy eating the ones you make.
ReplyDeleteQ2: not telling!
Ha ha! Now imagining Bob in a pair of tights! There was a big craze for tgese after the cupcake phase but I sadly never tried them! Yum!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I wore heels 2 weeks ago at school and tights back when I had that interview.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I engaged in whoopie pie making was for a charity BBQ when I made 100 of them. 200 large cookies, 12 at a time in my small oven... I won't forget the experience soon! We sandwiched them with ice cream for the kids as an easy take-away pudding. The last time I wore tights and heels was for a friend's funeral back in October 2018. I will occasionally wear thick wool or cotton tights and boots with dresses in the winter, but nothing in the summer. I never have liked tights - the idea of sweaty nylon round my crotch has never appealed!
ReplyDeleteI've eaten but never made Whoopie pie - have to say that I love Rosie's outfit.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear dresses anymore so no tights - just the occasional pair of "knee highs" and as for heels - it was probably Christmas!
It's going to feel like 39C here today so it's bare legs and cotton as much as possible.
What an adorable pic of Rosie holding the cupcakes. Bob is a hoot! There's an artisan eating place not far from me that's selling lovely cupcakes ...for £3.45 each!!What a joke, I say to myself, even though they're supposed to be 'something special'. I'll bake my own, thanks very much!I can't believe that in my dim and distant past I used to totter about on 3.5" high heels! Very rarely wear anything higher than half-an-inch these days!
ReplyDelete£3.45 for ONE cupcake? is it decorated with gold dust?
DeleteRosie looks so adorable holding those yummy treats! I am afraid I've never made any whoopie pies.
ReplyDeleteShe couldnt wait to sample them - we made 14, but we ate one each before the photo was taken!
DeleteHeels....a long while ago! The days of my beautiful 4 ins heels are long gone, and now it's sensible flats.
ReplyDeleteIt must be lovely to be home.
I still have some gorgeous black 4" heels. But lately no occasion to wear them...And I know sensible flats are a better idea. And yes, it is truly lovely to be back with Bob
