    Evening all. Very dull here all day. DS’s flight was delayed from Glasgow due to low visibility at Gatwick. He said you could not see the runway as they landed.

    Another day of doing nothing here. This morning when we put the TV on James Martin was cooking Yorkship puds! The ones he took out of the oven were the largest individual ones I have ever seen.

    Thanks for the links Alfie and thanks for all the pics.

    Indie made me smile at Charlie not being happy. Great idea for recycling his fur.

    So hope spring is on the way and no more winter brrr....

    Have a great evening everyone.

    Morning, i saw those yorkshires as well, they were huge,even my son comented on theml. Mine have never come out that big.
    It was really foggy here last night and i could hear the ship fog horns going off so it must have been bad at sea. It had gone this morning and we have the sun out now.I am hoping to get out the garden later and sort a few pots out. Hope you all have a good day.

    :hello: Good afternoon everyone

    I also saw the ginormous Yorkshire puds leanfun/indie! :shocked:
    I've never seen any that huge before, let alone made any that
    size myself! :D


    It was also foggy here last night indie, but same as you - no
    sign of it this morning. It's been such a beautiful day here,
    the sun was shining away & it's so mild. soleilcoeur.gif I have
    just one complaint - the sun shows up dust & cobwebs inside my
    house! :eek: Must get my feather duster out this afternoon &
    have a good cleaning session! :p


    Sun's just gone in now, I'm guessing that's it until tomorrow. It
    looks as if Monday may be a mix of rain, clouds and sunshine
    down my way (according to local forecast).

    Happy RAKDay all! :D

    As Yorkshire puds have been a favourite topic of conversation
    here in the Inn, my Random Act Of Kindness today is to prepare
    a scrumptious Creme Egg Yorkshire Pudding Cake for you all to
    enjoy! :eek:


    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTaiaSnO0rvSpim2yJJoLHmnUC7ABBpUZHzP_PZXHgL_wwkxWLh


    ... it comprises of two chocolate sponge cakes sandwiched
    between white and orange fondant, decorated with creme eggs
    and encased in a giant Yorkshire pudding. Took me ages to
    make. :o Enjoy, plenty for all! :p _pale_


    Ok - I have an admission .... I just happened to google Yorkshire
    Pudding Cake & hey presto! :rotfl::rotfl:


    A Birmingham pub is taking Easter to another level this year by
    offering a Creme Egg Yorkshire pudding. The dessert - which
    sounds so wrong, but looks so right - features two chocolate
    sponge cakes sandwiched between white and orange fondant. It’s
    then decorated with creme eggs and encased in a giant Yorkshire
    pudding.

    As the pub’s general manager puts it: “It’s the best of both
    worlds!”

    The Half Penny Farm pub, which is famed for its giant Yorkshire
    puddings, introduced the seasonal Easter treat to meet growing
    demand for unique and unusual dishes.

    Mark Tennant, general manager, said: “Easter is the perfect time
    to gather the family and feast together for a delicious homely meal
    – finished off of course, with chocolate. All our cakes at the pub
    are handmade by our dedicated team so this year we put our
    cake-a-tier to the test to create something truly egg-stravagant as
    a special Easter cake, and we’ve not been disappointed.”

    The savoury and sweet treat is available now at the Half Penny
    Farm in Oldbury. If it proves popular, it could be rolled out to 65
    Farmhouse Inns sites nationwide.

    (You can vote to have the dish added to your local Farmhouse Inns
    menu by visiting https://www.farmhouseinns.co.uk/creme-egg-yorkshire-pudding.)

    As much as I love to eat Yorkshire puds, creme eggs & chocolate
    cake separately - this gets a big NO NO from me! Yuk! :eek:

    Lo Alfie no takers for the crime egg Yorkshire pud. Like Firefly separately fine.

    Thanks for choc FireFly. Yummy.

    Snap here too re dust. The other day sun coming in bedroom window showed up all the dust on the huge mirror. Still there I’m afraid.

    Alfie thanks for links RAKD I’ve entered 2 comps on Tw re RAKD.

    Unfortunately I woke up sneezing this morning and the dreaded hay fever has started. Probably told you before I’m allergic to the pollen on Silver Birch Trees. Last week I saw several trees near us with black pollen. So today we didn’t venture out. Still only lasts a few months.

    Hope everyone has a good evening.

    Wow Classic lodges have a number of places to choose from so that is great.

    I’ve only started doing some mag comps again since the advents so over the moon to have a win from them.

    :hello: Good morning all


    As predicted, it's a damp morning here - apparently the sun
    will be showing itself at precisely 1.00pm. :D :rotfl:


    I had to book my three monthly B12 jab at the docs today so
    decided to walk to the surgery as part of my healthy new life-
    style. :j Not sure it was such a good idea though ..... the
    surgery was heaving with patients coughing & spluttering
    away, all looking very sorry for themselves. Couldn't get out
    of there fast enough. :eek:


    Oooh, many thanks for RAK sweeties fire**fly. :T As much as I
    love choccies, they're a 'no no' at the mo (trying my best to stick
    to a healthy diet), & I know for certain - once I delve in & get the
    taste of them again, there'll be no stopping me! Oink oink! :p
    But I will help myself to the odd fruit marble or two! :drool:


    I agree, thought the mix of Yorkshire pud, chocolate cake,
    creme eggs etc sounded absolutely OTT! :rotfl::rotfl:


    Same here indie - I've never been keen on creme eggs
    either! Far too sickly! smileys-ill-436712.gif

    Good luck with the Twitter comps leanfun. :j Brilliant win
    with Classic Lodges - sounds wonderful, mega congrats! :T :D


    You have my sympathy re hayfever. I used to suffer with it
    dreadfully from about 8yrs of age & my son suffers from it
    now. Thankfully I eventually grew out it by late twenties,
    early thirties but I can still recall just how miserable it made
    me feel year in, year out. Hope you feel better as the day
    goes on. xx


    Have a lovely & lucky day all and please take care, whatever
    your plans.
