Dear Cathy
I have just returned from the Show and I expect you are eager to know how I got on.
My Lemon Drizzle Cake was not placed, and I can't say I'm surprised. I am led to believe that the judge had very high standards, and there were several excellent entries. She did leave an advisory note for all entrants with a very useful tip for next time though:
'Best to test with a warm skewer as a cold one leaves a mark'.
There was also a note with the Bakewell Tarts as follows:
'Flan cases should be well filled. Always read the schedule carefully - 7" approx size."
I had a hot flush when I read it as it was clearly directed at me, but it gets worse I'm afraid. My tart was marked 'N.A.S. - Not According to Schedule' which means it was disqualified!
I tried to laugh it off, but truth be told, I felt quite ashamed. I let the village down, I let you down, and worst of all I let myself down.
The little Lattes did very well with their Rock Cakes, winning first and second prizes in the Under-8s category. They also won prizes for their Scarecrow Collages and their Poems.
That's all for now dear, I'm going for a lie down.
