I have now put the marzipan on my Christmas cake. It's a lovely pale gold colour and looks very smart. I got such good advice from my colleagues and also some pupils, on how to roll it out properly and smooth it onto the cake. Everyone was so encouraging and I'm very excited about the next stage of icing it.
David and I went into town yesterday evening to collect the coffee machine and we had a browse round an almost deserted John Lewis. I got some very nice Christmas crackers but Davie was tired so then we just went for a coffee and had a lovely chat.
On the way into school this morning the sky was magnificent - brilliant blue with swathes of gold clouds (like my marzipan!) The weather continues to be cold; -4 degrees when David and I set off home this evening. Hard to believe that I was sweltering on the beach at Sandwood Bay five months ago - I bet it's bitterly cold there too tonight!
