A Not Too Spooky Bake
Sunday was Halloween, so of course I did a quick bit of not at all spooky baking—first for a while. A pear, blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry crumble (to a Slimming world recipe) and an amalgamation of two recipes to create a coffee walnut fudge cake (fudge icing as sandwich, coffee buttercream topping. Didn’t quite get the raising ingredients or temperature/cook time right but hey ho).

Long Rochester
The interruptions of Covid mean that getting places has this year been difficult, or at least delayed. So during the relative calm of the moment Heather and I took the opportunity of taking our annual visit to Rochester. This time though we made the decision that we wouldn’t be rushed for time, or having to get the train home after a lovely dinner, so we made the effort to stay over night.

A Kentish Herd
Elmer With Elmer
A little Elmer with a big version
We’ve seen Elmers in Newcastle, and Elmers in just plain old Castle, so when Heather and I heard they were coming to Maidstone we planned to go and catch them there. We finally made it on the last day, to collect a whole herd.

Metro Seaside
Heather and I had been in York, but instead of heading south back towards life we headed north, to my home town of Newcastle!
