    @Willowtree222 congratulations! The strangest part will be not going back after the Christmas break, so maybe plan a few things each month to look forward to.

    Thanks Floss. It should have happened earlier in the year, but circumstances changed this. Here's to 2026.

    I have made loads of Pavlovas over the years and sadly I have completely lost the knack. I made one on Saturday for lunch on Sunday and despite whipping the egg nicely it refused to hold its air once the sugar was in. I ended up baking it in a flan tray to stop it escaping the oven. So I tried again on Sunday morning and it was even worse. It was a bit like an omelette meringue. We used the first one which at least tasted like pavlova on Sunday. Today we ate the second one with ice cream, kiwi and bananas. I christened it Frankenstein pavlova. I think I have invented a new pudding but I don’t think it will catch on. But I decluttered it to our tummies because otherwise it was going in the bin. I have decided not to make any more pavlovas. 🙁
