We just finished a "Harry Potter" marathon at our house--watched each one as close together as we could...we love doing that together! Wish I'd had this recipe then!<br /><br />Oh! My mom just arrived tonight...we went to a bookshop, and I saw "Larkrise to Candleford" and started saying how wonderful you said it was, and what do you know? She purchased it for me for my birthday gift! I couldn't believe she did it--it wasn't cheap! (The whole first season!) <br /><br />Can't wait to sit down and gobble it up! That might just be the time to bake up some Rock Cakes....hmmmmm! Hugs and kisses!Hearts Turnedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391141234861745875noreply@blogger.com
