Utterly gutted to have missed this, and you!

I keep seeing you in passing like a mirage - didn't catch you at the Guild, or properly at Georgie's lunch! WHY ARE YOU AVOIDING ME? (hope to see you soon, if you don't see me first xxx)

Rosie Birkett's avatar

I know! Me too, what is going on? I’m not avoiding you, I’m haunting you! Would be lovely to manage an actual chat at some point! Xx

The Harbour Bar in Scarborough hasn’t changed since I used to go to Scarborough on Sunday school trips in the 1960s. Probably the only place in the UK that still will serve you a hot Bovril and an ice cream sundae with tinned peaches.

I saw the ads for buttered toast and hot Bovril as I peered sadly through the window, wind whipping my hair and forbidden dog nosing at my heels! what a place (though I think the place in Bridlington does a good line in such sundaes too, if it's still as good as on my one visit)

Thank you for the recipe! It’s very hard to find malt powder in vancouver. I grew up drinking ovaltine…. Is this a substitute?

He was delicious and no more compressed than Himself

True, the real thing is quite dense too (though less than he used to be, sob)

Just to be clear: which elevation is Wilfcake?

Felicity Cloake's avatar

I hate it when I'm too stupid to get a joke. WHAT?

Mark Diacono's avatar

I was implying I wasn’t sure if it was his arse or his face

Fab cake and yes to those big as F piping bags. I only wish I knew you needed than as I have a roll of 40+ when I only needed one.
