70 cakes

The party doesn't start til 2pm. There is a vast array of cakes to be consumed this evening. Not to mention the trifles and the buffet that precedes it. But before that,  party games. And even earlier,  a walk to burn off all those calories we are about to consume.

Apparently the whole of Appleby is dressed up too. This isn't for my mum to,  but a royal post flood visit. The river is high again.

So many hours planning have gone into today,  I've been worried that there will be disappointment when it inevitably doesn't go to plan.  As always I find it tricky with so many people I want to be happy. I will keep reminding myself I'm not responsible for everyone and that we are all doing our best :-)

Will add photo of cakes tomorrow once back on my own Wifi rather than the limited one here.
