Half term day 4.
Came back from Oxford, picked up the car from the garage, met Kate and Katie for lunch, missed Hollie, went to ceramic studio for a stoneware class. First one is my effort, second is roughly what it’ll look like when fired….

I promise not to fill my timeline up with “lasts” as I go through my final year as a head. But boy, my last September inset day cupcakes were a success!

That is it! I’m off for a snooze. I just over whipped the cream for the last lot of cupcakes after making these 5 lots (last pic in replies). I have come upstairs to the coolest room with the hump.

My grandad was a limestone quarryman and used to bring the silk bags home that the dynamite powder came in. My grandma made clothes out of them. My dad tells of a silk shirt he had as a 6-7yo that had “DYNAMITE” printed across the tails!
