Joe's table

This morning Joe wanted to use the ‘Spiderman’ cake kit that Henry had given him for his birthday. He also wanted a “cloth, blanket thingy” on the table and my cake stand.

So, I gave him free rein and tried to be helpful and calm (is it just me or is baking with small children slightly stresssful?) and this is the result.

A happy, wholesome family memory and one very proud 6 year old.

This is why I gave up my career, this is why I put up with the chores and this is why I wear my pinny with pride… the gentle art of domesticity.
