Jamie Oliver might think the nation can't cook but let me tell you, we certainly can bake! I went to some of the Macmillan Coffee Mornings being held around our area this morning and there were some great cakes to have with your cup of coffee, fundraisers had clearly made a huge effort and the coffee mornings I went to were well attended so the effort seemed to have paid off. A beautifully detailed iced cake being raffled at the hospital was really a work of art!

Apparently funds were not even in place for the scheme until months after the Order was made.

SmartWater in Brickhill

Precarious business this! I was out today in Brickhill helping to put up the signs warning that the area is protected by SmartWater. SmartWater is usually described as water with its own DNA.
