Butternut & Sweet Potato pie - home made, pastry and all, by the fair hands of Abbie.
It was SCRUMPTIOUS!
Macro-art by DD. There were faces drawn on the bricks.

Can you think of anywhere better to study your geography :D?
He was having to hold the pages against the breeze though.
Meanwhile inside...DD cooked fudge.
At the same time, Abbie was doing some cooking with Chip - making cookies.

This took him three attempts to get it to work,
simply because he thought he could adapt the instructions ;-)

He did really well, but then boiled it a little too long, so it crystallised and I had to rescue it for him. Thankfully I succeeded and it tastes alright, but perhaps a bit to 'strong' - a little bit liquorice flavoured we think - and it still has some grit to it. Next time...

He did all the work. She really just helped him with the weighing and the order of things. Look how chuffed he is with himself :D
In other news, Abbie had her college interview today and has a place to do her Level 2 Btec in Patisserie & Bakery, with GCSE Maths and English concurrently. It was a bit of a boring, paper pushing exercise tbh, and they didn't know quite what to do with her 'no GCSE's' status, but in the end it wasn't an issue. The chap we met at the open day popped in and remembered her - and pretty much said 'no problem' - I think he can tell she is going to be a great student to have around. As she is starting a year early, they just need to pull down funding for her, but having looked at government stuff online tonight, that really should not be an issue for them, especially as they are already providing 14-16s educational courses.
And, Phoebe has her college induction day in a couple of weeks too. Again, I'm waiting on confirmation of a couple of details, but she looks good to do her VOP + GCSE maths and English a year early (alongside Abbie), which will enable her to jump early onto onto a Level 3 course next year.
It's all change - and it's happened quickly - and been a so much simpler process with Reaseheath than it was first time round with Jake at SCC.
