I’ve discovered two extra photographs from approach again in September or early October …………..small finds from weekend boot-sales.
A digger on tracks for the automotive field, a Christmas card for daughter and a pad of playing cards to color which can be one thing for the grandchildren to color and make someday. (Annoyingly needed to pay £1 every for these!)
And under 3 playing cards for the cardboard field, an ice-cream van for the automotive field and a e book that I would not come throughout earlier than. The e book is geared toward academics or mother and father who’ve extra time than many do now and is crammed with poems, songs, craft concepts and recipes for every season and the particular days of the 12 months. (50p every ……a lot better)
Center Grandson has already visited and located the brand new autos. Each time he visits he takes them out of the field one after the other, examines them carefully and tells me what they’re. Then he does the identical with the bathtub of zoo animals. I like having the ability to add one he is not seen earlier than as he’s so stunned to search out them.
I made the Wartime Christmas Cake this week , which tastes OK for a frugal cake however is a bit dry and crumbly.
That is the recipe if you wish to attempt it.
4oz grated carrot
2 tablespoons golden syrup
3oz sugar
4oz marge (or fashionable equal)
1tsp bicarb
½ tsp almond essence
½ tsp vanilla essence
4oz dried fruit
12oz Self Elevating Flour
1 tsp cinnamon
small teacup of barely heat milk
Prepare dinner grated carrot and syrup over low warmth for a couple of minutes
Cream sugar and marge till fluffy
Add bicarb to the carrot combine
Add moist components to sugar/marge a bit at a time as if it was egg
Stir in flavourings and fruit
Fold in flour and cinnamon
Add sufficient milk to make moist combine
Pour into tin, stage high and put into sizzling oven then cut back temperature to very low and bake for 3 hours.
There is no temperatures given – perhaps ovens assorted lots again then – so it means watching and testing with a skewer and masking if the highest begins to burn.
I feel I will stick to creating a smaller model of my ordinary Victorian Christmas Cake for this 12 months.

Clocks again tonight – for some motive this 12 months I am not hating the concept as a lot as ordinary.
Hope you may have a great weekend. I got here throughout particulars of one other charity e book sale – so guess the place I will be going.
Again Monday
