The weekend that was...

This weekend seemed to have passed in a blur of activity...

On Saturday our house felt a bit like a train station with how there was a stream of people coming and going during the afternoon. On Saturday morning I experimented with making a ganache icing for the cupcakes I had made for the tweens meeting later that day and it worked pretty well and the cupcakes looked SO pretty. David enjoyed every minute of being the quality control checker as he tasted the ganache, the ganache icing and the cupcakes.

 
Just as I was about to sit down and my final read through of the material for the tweens meeting Rehana and Zulfa popped in to say hi - it was a really nice surprise.

We chatted for a bit and then they had to leave so I could finish the last bit of prep before the girls arrived. I felt totally our of my depth with the five 12 year old girls who meet at my house once a month. I look at them all starring at me and I freak out about what to say to them because I really don't know how to give them good advice on how to face life as 12 years... but somehow God just gives me the words as we sit down at the table, drink hot chocolate and eat cupcakes.

After the tweens left at 4pm, David and I went for a walk on the beach before I had to set up for our girls evening. We had a cupcake fondue...


We had ganache and icing as our "dunk-ables" and then we had various different sprinkles, marshmallows and chocolate balls as "add-ables" to it. IT WAS SO GOOD!

Sunday started with two of my favourite things with my favourite person ever.... I misread an email so David and I had an hour and half to kill before church to we got coffee and went to the beach. We sat there for a bit before going for a walk at the harbour, we even climbed on a boat or two...

 
The rest of Sunday was filled with a family lunch and a spot of gardening. We trimmed some bushes yesterday and I am living in fear of our landlady's temper when she see's what we've done... I just hope she see's the good in the trim and not how much "dead" bush we cut off leaving quite an open space in our garden... ho hum.. time will tell...
