I baked a cake today! Its a lemon teacake with cream cheese icing I haven’t had any yet because I put it in the fridge to cool and then forgot about it, but I’ll take some to work tomorrow for morning tea!

It was rather cold and overcast today so I spent most of it indoors, rugged up in my fur trimmed capelet and watching Lady Lovely Locks. I recently found the dvd, its a charming series and very nostalgic for me.

For those unfamiliar with it, Lady Lovely Locks is an animation and toy series from the 80’s, it is about a beautiful kingdom ruled by a princess named Lady Lovely Locks and her two close companions Maiden Fairhair and Maiden Curlycrown. The entire world is about hair funnily enough, even the sinister Duchess Ravenwaves is obsessed with it and plots her evil schemes from her castle in Tangleland. I love the simplicity and innocence of the stories, and the artwork from the accompanying books is beautiful.

I also watched The Prince and Me, which I expected to be a rather shallow post-teen movie.. and it was, but it also had enough bittersweet charm for me to thoroughly enjoy it. I loved her fluttering flower petal gown at the coronation ball and little Princess Arabella was darling! The ending had a rather strange twist too.
