Snowed Under!



Hello Friends,
No, it hasn't been snowing in Barbados but with the amount of weather happening in the world at the moment, we wouldn't be surprised (we'd be very cold but not surprised!) as we're currently heading towards the rainiest part of the year for us in Christ Church. All sorts of different clouds are making their way across the sky, from all different directions, carrying various types of rain that drop in no set pattern. Ha, as I speak, we're having buckets of the stuff coming down on us so here's a photo of a bush on the front drive.
The other night we sat out on the back porch with no lights except moonlight and it was absolutely brilliantly bright with Tony exclaiming, "Who turned the light out?" whenever a cloud crossed below the moon.
Here's a picture of the famous birthday cake Michele made for Pops' birthday in September. Out of a box, with coconut and pecan frosting on top, you'd expect it was lovely and tasty. Okay... BUt the main words in this paragraph being "cake Michele made", it was a bit gooey inside where it should have risen more and a little bit black round the edges where Michele was waiting for it to rise and the oven may have been a tad too warm and the cake was a little bit too sweet as Michele put the frosting in between the cake as well as on the outside and all around the edges. Needless to say the cake was eaten in two days. And, NO, before you ask, the sheep, pigs and dogs didn't get any!
