Lunch Puddings Rain

When I was on the PTA committee organising the Woodlawn School Xmas Pudding Fun Run, we would usually end up with more puddings than required.  These would be put safely away for the next year, provided that their best before date was after the next Christmas.

One year the Run had to be cancelled altogether because of ice and we were left with puddings that had gone out of date.  We were informed that the foodbank wouldn’t accept them, so I brought them home.  Many went to friends and family, we ate a few and as for the rest … see below

To Mrs Treasurer - Remember the best-before Xmas puds I liberated?  I put a half dozen in a bird feeder and hung it up in the apple tree for tits, blackbirds etc.  There are half a dozen bumble bees feeding on the puds and it appears other insects and even snails are eating them too.

Been a busy mummy booking Ullswater Steamer and South Tynedale steam train trips for next weekend.   

I haven't put the washing out because they keep saying it's going to rain.  

But not so far so bugger it - it can go out and get soaked.

Mrs Quilt  It bucketed down in London this morning until I'd put on the waterproofs and set out for Kings Cross. The rain stopped, I sweltered! Bonus was that the train started from KX so we were able to board 20 minutes early. Wonderful journey until we stopped on the bridge outside Newcastle Central Station to wait 9 minutes for the previous train to clear the platform!!
