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."

How lovely to hear from you again (in the ether, as it were).
When I was a child in south Wales, we children used to roam the hillsides in August, looking for Whimberries. Not a single child was without purple fingers, lips or tongues and the expectation of a Whimberry tart was so extreme that if one did not appear the poor child was taken to a reliable house where one appeared. Thank you for the memory.
Lovely to read a blog entry from you again. Janet hanging on here in Seattle, enjoying blackberries (from the supermarket).
