When my daughters were at school I used to send “cake”, when my son in law was away serving in Afghanistan I used to send “cake”, in fact one year when I was President of our local WI we sent a lot of cake – 127 cakes! I knew their day would be a little brighter when they opened the box and saw a home made cake inside. Even though my children are all grown up, I’m still sending cakes made with love and affection. When someone you know needs a little treat, send a KBO Cake to eat!
There’s not much that can’t be sorted out with a cup of tea and a piece of cake!
