Chelsea Bun

The Chelsea bun  is a type of currant bun  that was first created in the eighteenth century at the Bun House in Chelsea, London, an establishment favoured by royalty and demolished in 1839. The bun is made of a rich yeast dough flavoured with lemon peel, cinnamon or a sweet spice mixture. Prior to being rolled into a square spiral shape the dough is spread with a mixture of currants, brown sugar and butter. 

This was the most delicious we had ever eaten...bought at the local Farmers Market.

Tree Carving

Spotted whilst out dog walkingtoday................why do people do this?

It is illegal to tree carve  in the UK.   A friend told me that they knew someone that was fined 10/- (50pence) back in the 1950's for defacing a tree, he carved his initials on it. Ten bob weas an awful lot of money then!

My pretty little friend

...thanks for a lovely day....we had fun!
