This was Stuart's birthday cake, he isn't really a cake person so instead I bought an Italin panettone (chocolate of course) which was a big hit and very delicious. So much so that I forgot to take a picture when it was whole and had the candles in, never mind.
The best excitement of the week was the arrival and fitting of our new front door. The first picture below is our old door, which we think was original to the house and so over 100 years old. You can't really see from the picture but it was very warped and ill-fitting, with lots of draughts.
And the glass wasn't stained glass, it was a special window sticker that we put on as a stop gap until we could get a new door. There was no hope for it so we now have a lovely new door with etched glass, which I love. It makes such a difference to the house, now we just need to finish stripping the rest of the frame and repaint it. No rest in this house!

Ooooh that cake looks lovely....and the front door looks great Jane. x
that's suuuuch a pretty door!
Great door! It matches your style and fav colors perfectly and oh my goodness- that Italian goodie looks so yummy. Haven't heard of it before. Is it a type of bread?
Lovely door - it has real "kerb appeal"! Ooh, and that cake looks sooo yummy too!
:)
Very pretty door! Great color
The door is such a pretty color.
I have dreams of getting new doors one day soon. You have inspired me!
The cake is yummy..and a new door does wonder the the house.
I like your new door. I'm also very envious because my front door is jammed shut and will not budge open. I'm having to climb in and out of my house via a window at the moment.
I bet that cake was so good!
The new door looks really good - the color is perfect!
