Yummy Carrot Cake! (by sarah)
Me and Al are currently finishing off the yummy carrot cake his Aunt and Uncle bought us last weekend along with my favourite - duck eggs! 
It was a real treat having them visit - I say weekend but they arrived late Sunday due to some missadventure on Roderick's part involving the Isle of Wight and a Spitefire!
As well as them there was Helens Mother Beatrice who was lovely and on an extended visit to this country - If I can get a hold of a copy of the pictures I will post them! Helen looked really cool with Jean in an Africian style baby bum carrier (dont know the correct term!) made of our Rainbow blanket - Jean loved it.
I also managed my first dinner party for six plus baby - with Als help naturally
For started we did nachos with home made guacamole and salsa etc... For the main we had filo passels that we constructed out of feta and home grown spinache with a wild leaf salad of mine and Als own devising, then a pasta salad and some mederterian veg, potatoe salad and calsaw made their way to the table as well (didnt make these as they take for ever - especially the calsaw). For dessert we had brandy snap baskets (again I had to buy these as didnt have time to make them) filled with red berrys of various sorts coverred in a berry icecream (I'd run out of home made icecream as well so felt guilty it was shop bought!) covered in hedgerow source which I made in the autum.
Hmmm woundering weather we should have a category labeled recipes on here - if anyones interested let me know (Charlee).
Anyway it was much fun especially as the old box speakers of mums and dads found a temperary home with the bodging repair of Babaras sound system!
