Poor Mr B69 :( I am rubbish in such situations but all I can think to say is that he'll be there in spirit wanting you all to be happy, and watching over your daughter as she grows.

Hope the fairy cakes turned out better than mine - not only did I forget to give them to my friend but me and Pot weren't about to eat 18 badly-dyed cakes and so binned them in Russell Square!

cheers Mal x
it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster of a day, basically celebrating kinga's life and missing mike at the same time. he was/is the best friend i ever had and we loved each other very much. i still carry a photo of him in my wallet.
does that make me gay?
weak attempt at humour...

and yeah, the fairy cakes turned out nicely. i think 4 colours was enough...

Aww, what a pretty name!
Not at all; I'd say you're honouring his memory and ensuring that he won't be forgotten which is a lovely thing to do. I don't know that I've ever had a friend I cared for that much (I have had a horrible tendency to be best friends with someone and end up with us hating one another - case in point, Slag of the Universe).

I did red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple and the red and purple were too saturated with dye so they came out brown :( fail!

Interesting...
When I was in Poland, I visited the Wieliczka Salt Mine. They had statues carved out of the rock-salt. I wonder if St. Kinga was one of them.
