Thomas Heads For The Tunnel

I am very fortunate to have a wonderful, extended family and many friends whom I love, I really appreciate that they put up with my grumpy moods and my hobbies. This weekend I officially become a 'Grumpy Old Git', though my wife, the lovely Jenny, believes that I have served my apprenticeship well. One of the benefits of being a GOG is that I start to receive my State Pension and at long last, I get back from HMG, some of the money I paid in during my working life - hooray!

This image qualifies to be uploaded because of the railway theme (just), the cake was baked by our very good friend of about 35-years, Linda. The 'Thomas' reference is because when her elder son, Max, was aged about 4-years, I was forced to visit a 'Thomas The Tank Engine Day' at the Dean Forest Railway. Linda, if you see this, you may now consider yourself forgiven! The cake has yet to be sampled, but I understand that the top layer has sponge laced with orange (juice and zest - please note the technical terms) with the base layer being a traditional Victoria Sponge. Roll-on tea-time!
