Well, that’s been quite a storm and another 24 hours of it are still to come albeit at Met Office yellow warning level rather than the amber it has been last night and all day today. We have been pretty lucky, fairly minor damage though I don’t like to see Welly Dog lying down after being blown over.
We set off to go to the market to deliver the golden coffee cake and to do our shopping but we were blown back up the drive so decided not to risk it. Consequently, I invited our lovely neighbour in for coffee and cake as we wouldn’t / shouldn’t eat a whole cake ourselves! 
After we’d had coffee and cake, S suggested that as she was going into town, she could take the rest of the cake in to the market! She also offered to do our shopping for us.

yes stay safe for round 2. What is a golden coffee cake? i have never heard of it and when i looked online it looked different than yours – ie. no frosting. yours looks lovely and delicious so i was wondering about it.

It’s just my regular coffee cake with edible gold spray so that it looked Christmassy for the Christmas market! We have stayed safe for round 2, thank you. We’ve had to drive up to Plymouth for Mr S’s check up on his spine op and we weren’t looking forward to it but it was an easy ride, happily. 🙂

We are safe and did eat cake, as you saw! They recoded 101mph winds at a campsite on the cliffs in St Ives!! Can you imagine being in a tent or caravan?! Happily, the campsite seems to have been empty, out of season but the craziest of winds. 🙂

And I read on my phone the Liverpool game was postponed. I was devastated.
