A childhood memory

30 Day challenge: Day 10 - A childhood memory.

When I was little I can remember visiting my Grandmas and there was always lots of goodies to eat. She used to love baking but as she got older and her arthritis took hold she was unable to continue. So when I was a young teenager I took over, every Monday straight after school. It was always a chocolate cake, a parkin and some scones. She had lots of family visitors and she could never let them down. I don't think I ever poisoned anyone and generally the comments were favourable.

This is a photo of the recipe for the chocolate cake and parkin, she wrote these down in the back of this cookbook when I got married so I'd never forget! I've still got her cup that I used to use for the parkin, such strong memories of her kitchen!

Wow I really didn't think that this challenge was going to tug at mt heart strings so much! Gushy and soppy yesterday and a blubbering mess tonight!

Apologies for not commenting tonight, will catch you all tomorrow x
