This year is the first year I've been alive when Mother hasn't been baking cakes and puddi

ngs for the whole extended family since about October. She's remarkable - you could seriously sell these things for a freaking mint if you put them in a fancy enough box and flogged then to Fortnums. She's a phenomenon - you've never tasted xmas puds and cakes like it.

Funny old xmas this year. She's said that for next xmas she's going to pass her recipes down to me, so I can at least attempt it, but it won't be even close.
