Morning all. I was up early and baking Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins to take to a meet-up with friends this morning. They look SO good and I have had to walk myself away from them for fear of checking to see if they turned out well (my excuse anyway!!) It is nice not to be racing around today. We're going to go and harvest some more apples shortly - the smallest ones will go to friends who have smallholdings with pigs on.
I have torn myself away from the Elly Griffiths novel I found in a Cardigan charity shop yesterday - one of only two of hers I've not read: "Smoke and Mirrors" which is a departure from her archaeologist heroine, and set in Brighton in 1951. Good so far.
On Sunday morning, before our Fair opened, we popped down to have a mooch around the car boot sale as we usually do. On a friend's stall, I found a lovely little cookery book from the Edwardian period. ELAINE - this is right up your street!!
The boy's suit below really dates the book (though I thought they were Norfolk Jackets and not Suffolk ones).
The Phillipine pudding sounds tasty.
I chose this page for the Devonshire Apple Cake - which is pretty well the same as a Dorset Apple Cake.
This final entry has me smiling : ) What a wag Mr A.W.S. was!! As for cosy socks from old felt hats, if I had any old felt hats I'd be tempted to make a pair!
