Never seen those!

They were popular with my children, whose choices cake-wise were limited by dairy intolerance, also good to take on trips, being calorie dense(ground almond as well as the sugar). I suspect that like many things the ingredients have changed over the years since then.

Apologies if this appears out of place...I could not decide where best to put it.

I had earlier read Tony's story and was preparing to reply with a comment - I think I had thought 'told with wit and charm' when I got diverted by a local news item. I hope when you read the item linked you will agree that it is a story worth reading for a different wrenching reason.

This was dreadfully sad - what should have been a marvellous event, turning to such horror. So terribly, terribly "wrong".

Going to St Catherine’s Hospice this morning, in Crawley, to see about the lympodema in my legs. Hopefully get something done!

Very Best Wishes with that, Bbm.

Very Best Wishes with that, Bbm.

Indeed. Unfortunately, lymphodema is an all too common side effect of cancer therapy. Though there is no actual cure for it as yet, it does, it seems, often respond to careful management. Fingers crossed, BBM.

Very Best Wishes with that, Bbm.

Seconded.

Very best wishes from me, too.

I recently accompanied my other half for a four-week radiotherapy treatment and was amazed to discover how medical technologies had advanced. I hope your problem will be sorted out without much trouble.

All sorted now. Many thanks guys!

Glad to hear that - a bit of, "MrsBBM always makes American pancakes. With maple syrup and ice cream!", should cheer you up

[Padraig]

All sorted now. Many thanks guys!

Excellent BBM.

I hope to report a similar result after my approaching two-year assessment.
