This last few weeks we have really needed cake. Not only has the weather been horribley un springy, but we are in the midst of some building work which is pushing us to the limit. We escaped to Eye and Framlingham last weekend for a day away from the "room". I am attending Slimming World at the mo so the above desserts were my hubby's and little ones, i did indulge in a taste and a rather naughty hot chocolate at the Laughing Goat cafe in Framlingham later on. The icing covered delight was a scrummy gingerbread which was little man's dessert at Beards cafe/Deli in Eye, they have gorgeous homemade food and it was a welcome place to hide from the rain and biting wind. Eye also has an excellent Cloth/haberdashery shop, where i managed to get all i needed for a couple of jobs and some birthday present projects for little man's two best pals, they are all coming up for 3 years old, which i can hardly believe. We have had glass put in all the windows this week, and the carpenters are steaming ahead with all the lovely woodwork. It is going to be a bright and light workroom/playroom/spare bedroom when friends and family come to stay, as our 2 bedroom house is no longer big enough to house guests(my family live at least 5 hours away) or all my sewing equipment, making theatre costumes on the kitchen table is ok but a slight pain when you want to eat. We will also have a shower room and downstairs loo which will make such a difference, as we have lived here 10 years with only a tiny bath.
