Friday tea time saw a flurry of homebaked cakes and the best Bon Voyage I could have wished for. Date & Walnut cake, cherry buns, German marble cake, cream sponge, banoffie pie, choux pastry, chocolate chip biscuits, marmalade and mix tapes. A late night sugar rush, a quick bag pack, a short dream and a 4am wake up call, I began on my northerly journey, just before the snow came.
