Hello from caketopland, which if you are looking you would find it just down the road from Nessie and Loch Ness, and just up and round the corner from that fine set of arches that Harry Potter's School train travels over on it's magical way to Hogwarts..... Now i'm afraid i couldn't tell you where Hogwarts School actually is, but if it is to be found in the vicinity of here i am sure Ethel the postie would know!!! Yes, for all caketops are taken on their merry way to you via Ethel and her Royal Mail Van. Ethel is a lovely charming lady who no matter the weather, depth of snow drift, iminent risk of landslide, random mechanical difficulties or rogue sheep, the post always gets through! I suspect in a former life, Ethel would have been a pony express rider, somewhat akin to Calamity Jane, but maybe no guns, and the injuns would have liked her.....
However, all good things do come to an end and Ethel the postie has hung up her spurs. A well deserved and no doubt just as busy retirement awaits!!!
Ethel had a fine dinner and celebration with all her work collegues, and i sent along a surprise Ethel cake top and wee cake for the occasion. Very best wishes to Ethel and we will miss her daily visits to caketopland... oh! but don't worry too much about the post and your caketop deliveries as Ethel's replacement postie will do just as fine a job... and maybe Ethel will have passed on the secret Hogwarts address too.....
Nice work Helen! The likeness is very good!
