Junctus Journals

As much as I like making my own cakes, it was a lovely surprise to have this turn up last week, courtesy of my son and daughter!



Not only is it reminiscent of one of my costumes, it's also got edible sequins! What was the best cake you ever made or received?

I'm glad to be back in somewhere that celebrates something on 1st March.

Happy St David's Day everyone! There are lots of daffodils and leeks around at the office and there was a (questionable) chorus of the Welsh anthem from the Welsh keepers.

In Romania I got used to Mărțișor on 1st March. Has anyone heard of that before?



It's a celebration of the start of spring. People (traditionally women) wear red and white things their family or friends give them. I don't know what to call them. Some people wear them as badges, some tie them around their wrists. They come in all sorts of designs. We used to all give them to each other at the Reserve, but they usually weren't the big ones because of them getting in the way.
