Hari OM OMD - that is just too good to eat, surely??? But I guess a pretty fair attempt at demolition was accomplished... Congrats to you both for arriving at this point. Now onward and upward! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
That is the perfect cake to celebrate your retirement with although it must have been tough to cut into it. We are also curious as to the flavor(s) inside. Congrats on your next chapter together.
Wow. Magnificent, in concept and execution. Clearly, Gail's co-workers and boss care for her and will miss her! I guess that means you're now the Boss, Bertie. I hope you see fit to provide Gail with plenty of treats and praise.
Bertie... you didn't warm us you were retiring too! We love the cake, and are looking forward to reading all about your and Gail's adventures in retirement.
Twenty one people all with their eyes open and smiles on their faces for the picture now that is an accomplishment. Guess they all wanted to get to the Bertie cake! Happy Retirement Gail PARTY TIME. Sweet William The Scot
Congratulations Gail and Bertie—Gail on passing this impressive life milestone and Bertie on being such a fantastic cake model and inspiration. I expect you’re both looking forward to more time for walks...Enjoy!
