Volcano and coincidence

Liz went topical on the cake front for A's birthday: a volcano. Difficult to see in the photo, but it's a chocolate cake covered in brown icing and red lava erupting from the top and spewing down the sides. No ash cloud. She had a nice party at home with half a dozen close friends. The easiest one we've done I think.
The strangest thing happened to our friend Iain on the way here to pick up A's friend Flora. Yesterday he had emailed an old college friend in London from 15 years ago, to see what she was up to these days, and got an out-of-office message saying she was travelling for six months. On his way over to us he stopped at traffic lights and there she was, crossing the road in front of him! An amazing coincidence. Before the lights changed he shouted out "Get in" and brought her to our party.
