What a week.

There have been numerous occasions during the course of this week when I’ve felt compelled to sit and watch TV. Not normal daytime stuff – Escape to the Country, The Bidding Room etc – but the events unfolding in Balmoral, Edinburgh and then London. Many times I’ve been close to tears, as have most of us I’m sure. Operation London Bridge has been in place for much longer than we were aware of it, but the plans are being revealed to us on a daily basis. How incredible it was to see and hear the proclamation of the new King at St. James’ Palace – a protocol of which I wasn’t aware. I shall certainly continue to watch each stage of the events, possibly with a large cup of tea to hand. We loved seeing the Queen enjoying tea with Paddington Bear, tapping out the rhythm on her beautiful teacup. So with a gentle nod to their mutual appreciation of marmalade, today we are bringing you a bonus recipe. Take a look at the Recipe Page on this website where you’ll find Marmalade Cake. x
