This is my mod’s contribution to Beethoven’s Baking Party, rainbow cupcakes. 

My mod would like to apologise for the fact that in the first batch the green and blue food colouring didn’t show up properly, hence all the cupcakes look yellow.

Her original plan was to make a big rainbow cake but her mum said she couldn’t because no one would eat it, so she made some cupcakes in the same style.

Also, my mod was going to make buttercream icing for on top but she didn’t have enough icing sugar or butter and it was late at night so she didn’t bother 🌈

I’m currently in Ischia for a concert with my school’s chamber orchestra, and I’m staying at La Mortella (aka Walton’s former home) which is very exciting 😄

[williamwalton-official]

It's my home!

My mod is in Ischia at the moment for a chamber orchestra concert and she is staying at La Mortella (aka my home) which is very exciting - more pictures to follow

If you’re ever worried that you’re acting desperate, just remember that when William Walton met his future wife he went up to her, having never spoken to her before, and said “I don’t think you realise but you are going to marry me” and then proceeded to propose to her every day for 3 weeks until she finally said yes

[williamwalton-official]

Rude. True, but rude. 😂😂

I’m chilling with @williamwalton-official and tending to his garden.  We’re playing viola duets every day :)

[williamwalton-official]

I’m having a fantastic time with my best friend @paul-hindemith-official, and my gardens are doing better than ever, so this accounts for my distinct lack of activity, apologies to anyone who’s missed me, but viola duets call!
