Cake and Heath - London November 2022

Cake and Heath
Saturday 19th November 2022
Getting Erika to go to Japanese school on Saturday morning is always a bit of a struggle, but today after quite a tiring week and a late night the night before (not Erika's fault I should add) Erika really dug her heels in on the issue.Consequently she and Chie had a bit of a falling out this morning. So Erika didn't go to Japanese school, and instead she and I spent the morning / early afternoon baking a cake to try and cheer Chie up. Later on Erika and I went for a walk to the heath together to catch the sunset.

The finished product.

We were attempting to make a Japanese style shortcake, which is supposed to have a very light and airy sponge - not sure ours was quite as fluffy as it should be but the overall effect was pretty good, I thought.

Later on, when Erika and I headed to the heath for a quick walk, there was a lovely sunset.

Erika brought along a "Mogu Mogu" and I brought a Negroni.

Here we are enjoying our sundowners on a park bench. I love this photo!

The sunset. Really quite a nice one.

Erika and I stopped again at another bench just before we left the heath for one last slurp.
