Inclement weather.



What does one do when it's raining all, and every, day? Pop down to see Grumsy, of course.

Boo Boo: Can we make some, erm, cakes?

Grumsy: What sort of cakes would you like?

Boo Boo: Biscuit cake.

Grumsy: Biscuits or Cake?

Boo Boo: Erm, gingerbread biscuits.

Grumsy: Gingerbread men or gingerbread women?

Boo Boo: Gingerbread birds.

So, they made gingerbread birds, men, stars, houses, unidentifiable objects, teddy bears, and fish. Some had chocolate buttons for eyes, and they all tasted very good.

Then he went back up to the barn very happy; clutching his bag of Biscuit cake.

    Delightful! A happy little boy. You're so lucky to have him within pop-down distance.

      He comes down to see us most days. Plays Snakes and Ladders, Dominoes, or Solitaire, has some tea and cake, then goes home. He's better than medicine.

      I think it's the other way around; for him it's normal

    Wonderful. Brings back memories of baking with my young daughters on rainy days. I would tell them that the smell of baking keeps the witches away.

    How wonderful that you have your grandchildren around you now. They give one a reason to smile. Winter will be better for you this year.

      Lady M is loving having Boo Boo in the kitchen with her. They've just made some really delicious iced Chocolate cupcakes together. He's very proud of his work.

      There were very good, and yesterday they made iced chocolate cupcakes together, which were excellent too. Boo Boo does most of the work.
