Fairy cake..

After a very busy week, we are just chilling and doing domestic duties (like baking!) today.

Yesterday we made a quick visit to Peckforton Castle to check it out before the wedding we are doing next weekend. Phil had to make an urgent phone call to work and I wandered around outside. They have recently started to have birds of prey at the castle and presently the falconer came out and we got chatting. I met a few of the birds including Ollie the barn owl.

So I was VERY intrigued to see THIS story in the newspaper today! Please check it out to see what a starring role Ollie & Peckforton Castle are going to play in a famous Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand's wedding!!!

Ah baking, you reminded me I haven't done any for a while!

The link for the newspaper story doesn't seem to be working.

I thought the story on the owl was fascinating. It certainly isn't a normal ring bearer.
I'm glad you have some down time before your busy weekend.
