Thanks folks, and good morning! There is one very small slice left, chubs and Dougie, but you'll have to beat Bill to it!

MOIRA-you just know me too well now!! As soon as I saw the thumb,my eyes were drawn to the circumference of the tray, made up of all these lines.And what is your BG? Is it a table or your garden paving? Whatever it is you can keep your cake and I will have a slice of that!! The geometry of this image allows it to be cut into four equal segments(just like a cake).Each segment would be an image in its own right.They would be pure linear images with the cherries and greenery being additional colours which would also mimic the curved outline of the tray very nicely indeed.This is a classic case of having your cake and eating it too.Colour and detail are excellent here which all makes for a rather outstanding image.Well done Moira.
Mick.

sometimes silly can also be excellent, this series of images is a shining example of that fact. Boy looks yummy right down the smiley face in the last shot. Is this a sweet or savory dish? That looks like Rosemary as a garnish.

Hello again, and thanks to everyone who has been this way.
Proz, this is (highly alcoholic) fruit cake. Traditionally it's covered with marzipan and sugar icing, but we're not keen on the icing. So I use just marzipan and then decorate with nuts, crystalised fruit or whatever grabs my fancy. This year it was cherries and rosemary, which incidentally gave the marzipan a wonderful scent.
As I have explained to Mick, the cake is sitting on a plate, the plate is sitting on a tray (and the tray was sitting on our lawn). Men...!

I do hope that wasn't a solo effort, eating that lot. We're usually still eating bits of Christmas cake on my birthday at the end of January.

This is a great fun treat Moira but also very well photographed . I didn't make the cake this year with going away. Still have bits in wrappings that I've been given on my travels . It is chicken and vegetable soup for me today.
