Icy Ireland

The weather has been pretty terrible. Something about Siberian conditions :( On Thursday, there was a 30 degree difference in temperature between here and home! 

We went to the village of Armoy yesterday, to look at a car. We are gonna sell my car and get a small corsa, if its diesal, Karl will take it and I will use his Astra. The car was in terrible condition, so we passed and the search continues. On our way home we saw this..

 Even the mountain streams are frozen!
We are all going out tonight to celebrate a whole lot of things: Mine and Harpinder's graduation, Mark & Christina's engagement, Wille's birthday last month and Moira's one coming up. So we are getting dressed up and going to Harry's for dinner. And after across the road to Johnny Joes (the local pub) for some live Irish music. 

I made an engagement cake for the lovebirds, and because Christina can't eat gluten, I used a normal recipe, and on advice from Tash just substituted the normal flour for gluten-free flour, and it actually turned out rather well. Its a white chocolate and orange sponge cake. Very moist, and very yummy!!
