Yesterday did not start well, with my son missing the bus to college and my daughter feeling too ill to walk to school. With friends my daughter walks with I ended up with 4 teenagers squashed into my little car and an unplanned 10 mile round trip. Now the reason I don't normally take them, apart from independence is the time it takes to get through the traffic, and I have to say this is the first time this term I have needed to go to the college. I knew the traffic would be bad but it seemed to be exceptionally so and it ended up taking almost an hour. At that point I still had things to do at home and then get to work which naturally had to be at the furthest of the locations I work at!
As soon as I sat down and wrote the date I thought, typical, it had to be the 13th! Anyway after a suitably busy day I felt a need for cakes. Far more important at that point than housework or cooking dinner!
I love your cake plate! I have some cups and saucers in that pattern - I think it has a delightfully retro air.

I agree, it really spoke to me at the Vintage Fair, I just couldn't resist it. I love the fact that it isn't too large - in fact, just right for tea for 2 or 3, which is the usual case here.
