What's left of a delicious iced bun

We were supposed to go out last night to have dinner at Vince’s sister’s place but she rang to say she’d slept badly and they’d visit us for afternoon tea instead. So they drove 40 minutes in 38C heat to see us. Go figure! But it was good to see them and she bought this yummy iced bun with her. We ate half with our coffee and I meant to send the rest home with her but forgot. Them’s the breaks I guess. But I will email and apologise for keeping it. Vince’s sister turned 80 recently and is the matriarch of the family. She is incredibly generous and caring, and looks out for everyone but herself.

Vince's sister sounds lovely. And she has good taste in pastry.

@FayeHazel That's true but in her case I know she has a lot of people who think the world of her - as well they might.

@JudyEv I hope she's surrounded by people who are kind, sometimes the world is mean to the nicest

@Adie04 It would be nice with ice-cream or custard.

@JudyEv Oh, I see! But I guess even this type of cake, I would mix with ice cream. Such a guilty pleasure!

Looks delicious and full of nuts or are there raisins in there? I guess it was meant to be given to you and no need to return them

@JudyEv I see that is really good having nuts on top.

Yes, you're quite right. She wouldn't be expecting any back. The top is icing and walnuts. Very yummy.

I'm glad they could come visit you and Vince and she felt well enough to do that. The iced bun looks delicious, too. Are you sure you "forgot" to send the rest home with them?

It's a good age, isn't it? Her husband is just a few years older.

Looks delicious! In that kind of heat, I'd stay home.

That was my thinking but she was determined to come. In the cars you don't notice the heat so much but it can still be debilitating.

@thislittlepennyearns We saw Where the Crawdads Sing about a week ago and we watched it again. I was trying to work out who was the 'murderer' or even if there was one.

@JudyEv What movie did you end up watching? We are watching a MTV show right now. But will probably finish Sheldon, or Big Bang Theory.

It is a shame their only son is married and living in London. As they get older, travelling gets harder and health insurance gets more expensive too.

@CarolDM I meant travel insurance gets more expensive. It's a long journey too.

@JudyEv I can see where that would be a hardship. I guess Face Time helps.

She is and looks after everyone. However, she isn't QUITE perfect (who of us is?) and sometimes gets under people's skin. We laugh at her - gently - from time to time at some of the things she says and does.

She is truly good and caring but is also a bit bristly sometimes. We've just finished the last of the bun this morning.

@JudyEv Well, you can possibly blame it on her age? My elderly aunt used to say, ''it took me 90 years to be this smart, now no one will listen to me because I'm old!'' she always made me laugh.
