Today will go down in our family history as the day Dot baked her first muffins and biscuits almost entirely on her own (though she did leave the washing up to me).

I remember learning to bake with my mam and I’m glad that Dot is showing the same enthusiasm for cake making as I did… and just as much enthusiasm for eating the results.

It is now getting on for 8pm and she has had so much sugar today I won’t be surprised at all if she doesn’t sleep.

The ginger biccys before they went into the oven…

… and when they came out… yummy!

And not forgetting the chocolate chip muffins!

Now, this evening, there are hardly any muffins left – though we have enough ginger biccys to last until Christmas!
