Living in London at the heart of the Jubilee Celebrations, I have decided to end this blog with a nod to Her Majesty, in recognition of seventy years and more serving the nation and the Commonwealth. It has been wonderful to get outdoors and meet the neighbours in happy gatherings after years of social distancing.

Thank you to Sophie, Virginia and Julie, who have provided images of their cakes and recipes for these posts. Thank you to everyone who has read, posted, commented and otherwise supported this blog, which has helped me enormously through the Covid years.

Music: Queen Elizabeth We Love You, ET Mensah and His Tempos Band, 1959
