Twenty Six

Mr Smith and I have been married for 26 years today. Quite an achievement even if we do say so ourselves. We would throw a big party and invite you all round but we haven't quite recovered from the one we had last year.

My friend Dynamic Denise came round for a cupcake masterclass. She is an expert cook and very creative. I felt rather smug knowing that bit more than her and realising I hadn't acquired it all in a couple of hours at a mate's house. I imparted some of my pearls of, mostly self-taught, wisdom kindly not ommitting the vital parts. Really cupcakery is just an expensive hobby that you can eat. Actually, it's much less expensive than Mr Smith's hobby of wine; a really expensive hobby you can drink, or golf, a really really expensive hobby you can bore on about for twenty six years.
