It sounds like everyone had a wonderful time visiting your garden. I think a book sounds like an excellent idea there are so many wonderful ones around and even Toby is passionate about flap books! Your weekend in the Cotswolds sounds lovely too - the company of a good friend and a beautiful place to stay - perfect!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794759688809245972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724074676917730292.post-29035912622123814802008-07-20T04:37:00.000+01:002008-07-20T04:37:00.000+01:00Yummy yummy cake!!Yummy yummy cake!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060734981147545844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724074676917730292.post-30310138842774416952008-07-17T20:57:00.000+01:002008-07-17T20:57:00.000+01:00I think books too- especially if you can write a s...I think books too- especially if you can write a special note to each child, along with the date, in the front inside cover. I have a book my teacher gave me when i was five somewhere...<BR/>Love Actually-we also watched it the other night, is one of my favourites! Best bits (more than one)<BR/>-Hughs dancing down the stairs and sliding across the floor to 'Jump'<BR/>-'Who've you got to screw for a chocolate biscuit around here'(sorry)<BR/>-Andrew Lincoln's signs telling skinny Kiera he loves her..(I Love Andrew Lincoln, Actually)<BR/>-Martine M when she blurts out ' I just knew I was going to **** up on my first day' <BR/>-so many more, in fact, that I may end up repeating the entire script. And that would just edaft.<BR/>Your cake looks amazing, next time you're in the Cotswolds and you have a spare couple of cake tins...xxxGarden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177037227875733437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724074676917730292.post-31926362732890485472008-07-17T12:44:00.000+01:002008-07-17T12:44:00.000+01:00I've missed something here - you are leaving?

How cool...(sorry, just couldn't resist).I think books for children are a great idea...so many children these days don't really read, so any encouragement is good! I've only seen Love, Actually once, memory hazy....I do remember I really enjoyed it!!

I enjoy Emma Thomson's performance - her face when she realises that her husband didn't give her the jewellery is heart-rending.<BR/><BR/>xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724074676917730292.post-77127328853113467282008-07-16T05:51:00.000+01:002008-07-16T05:51:00.000+01:00What a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the fresh...What a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the fresh air. <BR/><BR/>Love actually is one of my favourite movies. There are so many elements to it... must sit down for another viewing sometime soon. I love the bit where the guy (forgive my poor memory, I can't recall his name) turns up at his mates place and uses flash cards at the door, to tell his mate's wife how he feels about her, while Christmas carols play in the background. Gets me every time!<BR/><BR/>The cake looks stunning.
