Pirate Raid
Happy news
Parrot returned from his kitchen reconnoitre with pesos de ocho…
Raid
…and Constance decided another pot of tea would help her decide the best way to decorate her lemon cheesecake cupcakes…
Lemon Curd
Things often go missing from the Hitty Cupboard, especially chocolate, (Constance suspects Borrowers). By default, she decorated her Cupcakes with a dollop of Lemon Curd.
Loot
The girls made off with the loot…
Sharing the wealth
Quimper Hittys 
Shiver me timbers lassy, I spied a heinous crime on the pages.
But chocolate dubloons? Hide them! A counter raid is being planned. By me.
Gráinne is sharpening her cutlass in preparation!
Love Parrot
Gráinne is glad that the parrot can think as well as talk like a parrot!
oh what a crew of brigands!! Poor patient Constance. I believe she suspects exactly what became of her golden coins. But she is such a loving big sister that she is looking the other way and having a nice cuppa. Great story!! happy Pirate Day to the Quimper Hittys!!
You could be right, and Constance may just be playing along – she does have a sense of humour after all
Nice to see the girls having fun on Pirate Day. The cupcake is so yummy
The “pirates” love their ill-gotten chocolate, and Constance is happy with her lemon curd cupcake!
