We watched the entire season back-to-back.  Oh yes we did, and because she’s the coolest Mum in the world, Mum made sure we watched it in style.  The heater was lit, the French champagne was chilled and she’d made an incredible carrot cake to sustain us through all of the show’s emotional ups and downs.

Vegan or not, this was the best carrot cake I’ve ever tasted.  I took the leftover slices home for two vegan friends and they scoffed it just as fast as I did.  SO.  GOOD.  Mums rock.
