What made you come back to UK? Maybe a special person in your life? As i live abroad also i am interested to know what makes people come back.
Sure you must have a nice boyfriend here to make it worth it.
We always go where love is.
Have a wonderful time.

I'm so glad to see you blogging again Chris and to hear what a fabulous time you had with your kids at Xmas.
I can totally understand how it feels strange to you coming back to your home town after years away living in the States.
Each year when I return home for a visit down south I see tremendous differences which after a few weeks make me homesick for Tahoe.
Things will get easier as time goes on and you will settle in back home of that I'm sure once you get set up with a place of your own.
Love
Sue

Fancy coming back to the worst winter we've had in years though lol

How lucky Chris...it seems that the best people we meet in life are at unexpected turns :)

That cake looks a lot like 'love'.

Chris, that cake is a real beauty. You did a fabulous job on it. I know how you feel. I long to hear a Canadian Accent sometimes and news of home. I do love England and it's people though and enjoy living here. It's like my heart and feet lay spread over two countries!

That cake is a beauty! Well done Chris.

Hi Chris,
I love your cake, the roses are wonderful, in this photo you can't appreciate the delicate patten over the cake but that's very clever too! I'm sure Helen and her daughter were over the moon with it?!

Hi Chris - I'm Angie in England. Not sure how...

2009-06-09T12:33:05.075-05:00

Hi Chris - I'm Angie in England. Not sure how landed up here at your blog but glad I did. Probably was poking around Marie's Oak Cottage or English Kitchen and got sidetracked.

A Geordie woman! Have you still got the accent? My dad came from Shildon, Co. Durham and though it blurred a bit round the edges he still kept his northern accent to the day he died. I'm in Lincolnshire and our accent is a sort of hybrid of Yorkshire and Mumbo Jumbo!

So sorry to hear about your cat. You can't help geting a little bit attached can you?

And you make cakes and decorate them too eh? So do I. I've put some pics in the sidebar of my blog. I would never make my own fondant. A step too far for me. The boxed stuff is fine as long as you keep it away from the fridge. Same with the flower paste I use for making flowers (surprise!). You can keep that in the fridge or freezer though bfore you've turned it into flowers.

Chris, I was sorry to read about Jack. It's always so sad when we lose a pet. That cake looks like you did a wonderful job on it. I am sure everyone really loved it. Good luck and best wishes to the happy couple!

Hope I'm not too late to wish your step-daughter a wonderful wedding. Hope it goes smoothly and I'm thinking of you all!

Great looking cake Chris! I had signed up to take a sugarcraft course when I got my job down here, so I never did get to take one. Perhaps one day I will have another chance! I think your cake looks very springlike!
