Cupcakes And Old Cars

The twins have been baking for most of the day. A whole heap of cupcakes, a banana loaf and banana layer cake are the results. The best bit was that I didn't have to do anything except answer the occasional question.

It's all in aid of funding their summer scout camp. Sunday sees the annual Felixstowe Historic Vehicle Run, where vehicles built before 1975 all gather in Christchurch Park in Ipswich before parading to Felixstowe sea-front. Cars, motorcycles, vans, buses all join in and the range of designs are amazing. This year there are over 600 vehicles expected to turn up - there are steam powered cars from 1922 and the oldest cars registered were built in 1897. It's a totally free event, with time to look at the vehicles both at Christchurch Park and at the prom in Felixstowe, or, one our favourite things, wait along the route and get the drivers to wave and honk their horns at you! Curses to ITFC and Hull City for having the last match of the season whilst the rally is on - as KT can't miss the last match, our family traditions are down the pan this year!

The scouts have been given permission to have a stand on the prom and are selling hotdogs - the cakes were an after thought, but hopefully, they will sell well - I know when J's form recently had a bake sale, her cupcakes went like, well, hot cakes!

I've just thought of another bonus. J's been clearing up as she's been going along and doing the washing up. What more could a mother ask for?
