During this time my sister owned a Triumph Herald and on a visit home from Australia we embarked in her trusty vehicle on a 50mph journey north to my Granny's in Durham. A journey of nearly 250 miles. We stopped overnight at "The Angel" in Hull and had a lovely B&B at the pub with a shower cubicle in the room and a dinner in the Snug. HALIBUT. Real halibut steaks with a fresh prawn sauce. I can still taste it.
That particular visit, we went to Seaham Harbour. There was a second hand shop and I bought a fancy dinner plate.
Laura at Amongst the Oaks makes the most wonderful biscuits and I was so moved by her efforts that I have tried to improve my own. I made a batch of these the other day but they weren't worthy of posting. Today I made some more and am more pleased with them but they still rank as quite rustic. You may also notice that there are only eleven.
Yes, Dear Reader, one had to be dug out of the teflon tray and eaten by me with a teaspoon. It was yummy.
Cheers Gillian

Hi Gillian,
I would love to make some mince pies but of course we haven't the ingredients here in the Colonies. Next year I shall PLAN AHEAD and get the ingredients ordered in plenty of time to make some. I'm sure yours are delicious! I'd love to share a cup of tea with you and try one.

The mince pies look delicious and the plate is truly beautiful.
I've found the Roberton's mincemeat at Podesto's Market so I shall be making some mince pies too. Stay tuned.
