Say It With Cake

For a while now we've been running our own version of the 'Bake Off' in work, with the proceeds from entry / tasting going into a pot for charity.


Having had a good first round ('lemon') with my mini lemon meringues, I managed to hold on to the lead (if not 'star baker') over the succeeding rounds ('vanilla', 'berry', and 'chocolate') - so I got to choose the charity.

So here was an opportunity to say a proper thank you to the RNLI for their help this summer.

Thank you also to the other bakers - and everyone who put their hands in their pockets to buy a cake.

Ready to steer clear of sugary treats for a bit now mind you!

Shout Out

A big shout out and thanks to the RNLI Lifeguards and Borth Coastguard for all their help today.

A sunny day up on Borth Cliff all went a bit pear-shaped when a family visitor was taken ill - the lifeguards and coastguard were brilliant though - and the ambulance were there waiting for the coastguard helicopter back in Aberystwyth.

All turned out ok in the end - it was a rather more eventful visit than we'd hoped for mind you.  Very thankful for our emergency services, in all their incarnations, and very impressed with the  RNLI lifeguards in particular - they were real stars!
