In about 2001 or 2, I made a conscience decision not to watch any more soaps as I felt they were on the whole pushing the boundaries of believability and have not watched any since then!

Beautiful stitching & can't wait to see the finished item. I've enjoyed your many chatty posts while we've been in our hard lockdowns & hope we see at least a few from you in the coming months. I'll jot down the cake recipe too.

I'm not too keen on very gingery cakes so will perhaps give this recipe a miss. However the transformation of a very liquid mix into a lovely looking cake is magic!

I remember when we lived at the other end of the village - we had our own water supply shared with about half a dozen houses and it soon turned to a trickle if it were a dry summer. My other half is a slim bean too - despite the cake consumption levels he attains - sigh - I on the other hand put on weight just looking at food!!kjsutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064786032612487652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-48370713990019462752021-11-30T09:09:17.827+00:002021-11-30T09:09:17.827+00:00I will certainly have to hide a piece!
