We await the roadmap announcement tomorrow, when w We await the roadmap announcement tomorrow, when we hope that there is clearer guidance on the way out of lockdown including what will happen to weddings in 2021.
___
I’m thinking ahead for later in the year as Pantone® have announced the colours for the autumnal and winter months of 2021/22.
___
There are some bright and bold colours to really make a statement this autumn. Leading the way, the yellow colour of the year (Illuminating) brightens the mood and provides a glimmer of sunny days ahead.
___
We may be feeling a bit blue at the moment, but the calming blues will relax us by a Spring Lake or under the Clear Sky, lazing by the pool of Mykonos or Ibiza Blue. With reliable and stable navy (Rhodonite or After Midnight).
___
Rich, earthy, autumnal fiery colours are reminiscent of bonfires and sitting from a firepit toasting marshmallows, including Fire Whirl, Adobe, Root Beer, Red Alert, Tomato Cream, Daylily, Downtown Brown.

Even if you can’t share the day with your nearest and dearest today, take the opportunity to tell them how much you care about them. Celebrate the love you have.

Can’t stop thinking about cake at the moment! Do Can’t stop thinking about cake at the moment! Don’t know if it’s because I need a bit of an energy boost, a bit of excitement or something to celebrate.

When it comes to weddings, cakes are often the focal point of the wedding reception, culminating in a great photo opportunity when it formally gets cut.
___
Even though some couples are picking alternatives to the humble wedding cake, the evolution of this element is nothing new as it’s seen many guises over the years including bread rolls and pie.
___
The custom originally dates back to Roman and Medieval times when bread would’ve been thrown at the bride. Thankfully this developed into the breaking of the bread over the head. 
___
Over time this progressed into guests bringing baked goods to the wedding and piling them up as high as possible. The couple would try and kiss over this high cake without it falling over and were deemed to have good fortune if they were successful. Not content with the instability of a baked goods stack, one clever baker came up with the idea of sticking the rolls together and the Croquembouche was born.
___
Today’s traditional wedding cakes have a rich fruit cake, often a gorgeous layer of marzipan (that I can’t get enough of! ) and white fondant icing. The white colour of the bride’s cake was a sign of purity and also one of wealth (as fine white sugar would’ve been expensive back in the day). The whiter the cake the wealthier you were plus the number of tiers showed extravagance too (although often some tiers could be fake ones to save money!)

All the dreadful, grey weather this week has been All the dreadful, grey weather this week has been making me think about the Dorothy Norwood song from 1978, There’s got to be rain in your life (to appreciate the sunshine)
___
‘You know it's said that into each life, some rain must fall
But behind every dark cloud, the sun will shine.
I want to take a little time out to explain to you what I mean.
You see, you don't know how good it is to get over, If you've never been under.
You don't know how it feels to be up, If you've never been down.
You don't know how good it is to have peace of mind, If you've never had to worry.
You see you just don't realize what it is to be happy, If you've never been sad.
Let me tell you why
...
There’s got to be rain in your life
To appreciate the sunshine
There’s got to be rain in your life
To appreciate the sunshine
...
When trouble comes, That's rain
When you're sad, Rain
When the tears are falling down, That's rain
When death come calling, It ain't nothing but rain
You don't know what it is to wear a smile
If you've never wore a frown’
