Just saw an update that it has grown to 230,000 acres and 8 people have lost their lives.
Do you have ashes?
You should be sponsored!Only 12,800 posts to go!
They look like some cookies I once tried baking!
Probably same texture and taste too!
Mmmmm....... they look delicious.I'm doing well, thank you.
I have made a batch of Welsh Cakes, a big pot of soup and a big pan of bolognaise sauce all of which are heading for the freezer. (You can tell it is cooler today
How are you doing?View attachment 246659
I used to pinch the ones my Mum made while they were still warm - yummy!!!
Still not recovered from those photos!!!
The news just showed footage of the fire.
I can't imagine how terrible it must be to have that in your area.
Our fires were bad enough but that is so frightening.
They are best when warm, I agree
Good afternoon/evening everyone.
Hope Monday has been good to you.
No sign of the police yet, so not been able to do anything about my next door vandals yet.
Maybe they are hoping I will calm down and they won't have to intervene.
Great to see Adam back but looks like he will be a bit busy catching up on missed posts from the last however long!!?
So may not get any sense out of him for a while - if ever!
But still good to know he's around and about in the dark somewhere!!
My sister is on her way up to try and persuade to take a dog that one of her friends wants to give away, a Pomeranian but as much as I would love a dog to walk - especially when dandie hunting - not sure it's the right sort or time for me.
Anyway will catch you later.

Yes, those cakes look great. I remember having a few of these on a cold, rainy day while visiting a slate mine in Wales.. it was one of the few morsels available that day at the on-site cafe.

Hmm. A proper guard dog against the neighbors and unwelcome cats could be a solution...
They are practically a staple in Wales
Were you visiting a slate mine in Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales?
Lightning strikes effecting the point controls?
He was a beautiful 1 year old dog called Simba - looked like a fox and very friendly and made himself at home straight away.Hmm. A proper guard dog against the neighbors and unwelcome cats could be a solution...
He seemed quite calm and has basic training.
Lola was in bed so didn't disturb him to do the tort test - at a distance of course.
My sisters dog who stays with me occasionally ignores Lola and will walk away if Lola goes toward the gate separating them.
I don't know how another dog would react though.
Simba is a smallish pedigree but being given free to a good home and they will have him neutered.
I am going to have him on Thursday to see how we get on but most importantly how he would be seeing Lola.
Lots to think about!

But with no generally agreed recipe: mixed dried fruit or raisins? Cinnamon or none? Extra sugar sprinked with sugar or not.
Mum's recipe has mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, currants and peel), no spice and no sugar sprinkled on top. There is sugar in the welsh cake, but not on top... That would make it too sweet for accompanying cheese
