Dad, Fozzie & Shirley
Dad 1935 - 1991
Hmmm, Father’s Day is just no good without the man himself. But since my Fozzie Bear toy became dad’s mascot……and since his favourite singer was Shirley Bassey, there’s no better song for a day like today than this one:
All-In-One Tea & Cake
Raisin tea bread, tea and cake combined – surely the best thing since sliced bread? I couldn’t find the age old family recipe, so followed this one after a bit of Googling – using golden caster sugar instead of honey.
Update: the googled recipe missed a vital ingredient – the grated zest of an orange. It was “okay” without it, but needed that extra zestiness!
Creating A Buzz
Creating a buzz with wild flowers. Those poor bees need all the help they can get >>
Blooming Marvellous
The first of this year’s petunia seeds to bloom.
Keep On Running
According to old story, gingerbread men are speedy little chaps, out-running all but the crafty fox.
Unfortunately for this little batch of runners, they were cooked, cooled, decorated and promptly tinned!
The recipe roughly followed this one on the Channel 4 website.

Mother’s Day Muffins
Pear & Ginger Muffins
Follow this recipe for lemon muffins – ignoring all the lemony bits – and add a tablespoon of honey to the wet ingredients, a teaspoon of ground ginger to the dry ingredients….and fold in some peeled, cored and diced pear into the mix just before spooning into the cases. Oh and sprinkle some brown sugar on the top before baking!
Happy Mother’s Day.
