It has taken since the last post (Last Christmas) to get a photo across the great electronic ocean and have it appear here. Not for the want of trying, and I don't believe it was all my fault. There have been plenty of frustrated attempts.
I want to say thank you to Mary Berry for the cake pictured. It is blueberry and lime drizzle cake and it is also luscious. Improved by the blueberries being home grown and therefore much sharper and tastier than shop bought. The lime glaze seems to hold its tang for longer than a lemon one. That is quite an issue when there are only the two of us to eat it. I have several tempting American and German cake recipes, and they seen to think that if you make cake you are feeding a small Scout Troop - not very helpful to a pair of crumblies who ought to keep their consumptions modest!
We took the Magic Dog to visit our daughter and her offspring, and she behaved impeccably. "These cushions are just what I need to make myself at home."
