Thank you for your advice regarding the cleaning and maintenance of my washing machine, but I rather think you have me confused with someone else. My Bosch is as fresh as a daisy. Perhaps you were thinking of Maria Macchiato? I'm not at all sure how clean her dispenser draw is.
I must say, I do admire the way you look after Mr Chino. Taking him freshly made scones was a lovely thought. Were they still warm? If so, he could have warmed his little hands on them like the miners used to do with Cornish Pasties. Perhaps you should try making a pastie, I hear it's very chilly up north? Anyway, in my experience the key to a happy hubby is quite simple - a steady supply of homemade cake and plenty of sex. Perhaps I should write to Mrs Giggs about it. If she sent Ryan off to Old Trafford every morning with a smile on his face and a Rock Cake in his lunch box she'd have a very happy chappy.
This weeks bake was Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble (p293). How odd, I thought, to put strawberries into a hot pudding, but the Rhubarb patch looked like a jungle and I had a punnet of strawbs in the fridge so I gave it a whirl. There were rolled oats and almonds in the crumble topping and let me tell you, the result was worthy of a Gastro Pub. Try it on Sunday!
Before I close, I must ask your advice about a little project I've taken on. The School Circle wants to hold a quiz night to raise money for a new tortoise, and naturally, I have been asked to set the questions. I'm doing one round entitled 'Ten Things You Should Have Learned At School' and I wondered if you had any suggestions for questions. Can you remember the characteristics of a 'V' shaped valley? I'm just putting together the picture round - not sure whether to go for 'Name the following British Prime Ministers' or 'Who wore the following Royal Wedding Hats'?
Yours, Lucy.
