January!

Not my favourite month to be honest. It starts off so dark and dreary, but thankfully the evenings are getting lighter already. I just realised that I have forgotten to post a picture of today’s #cakefriday offering which was Lemon Bakewell, at the request of one of our beleagured shopkeepers. Believe me, they need some moral support at the moment. The town is very quiet with few people out shopping. Whether that’s because of the weather or because January is a five-week month, I’m not sure, but many people were paid before Christmas and won’t get another payment till next week. Thinking about this, we’ve made a video of Leek and Potato soup which is so economical and quick – it just might help families with a tight budget. Look out for it at about 11a.m. tomorrow. It really is worth trying, minimal ingredients+maximum flavour 😉
