Adderbury Community Food Market - Thursday, 10th September 2015 - and we win The prize supper tickets....

A busy day in the garden and a WI group walk to look forward encompassing Sun Rising Hill overlooking the plains of Edgehill Battle way back on 23rd October 1642 - between here, Kineton and Radway - just think, that is just 373 years ago - not really so long ago!

and we had lunch at Radway's Rose and Crown village pub which was very good indeed...when we visited on Thursday,1st October 2015...

Back to Adderbury and the Community Food Market where we'd gone for supper with friends, for shopping - I bought super meatballs from Ellie's Greek Food Stall from Mark plus their lovely sweet chocolatey truffles, which we all shared after our hot supper from Smart Cookies.  Imagine my surprise when my name was pulled out of the hat for the Market's prize draw to honour the WI's 100 Year Anniversary this year 2015 - 1915 -2015, which was absolutely smashing.  I shall collect on this next month on Thursday, 8th October!!!

Here's a few photos to wet your appetites for November's Adderbury Community Market on Thursday, 12th November....

Truffles -  the two which came home - just !!!!!!

veggies, hot Scotch Egg from Winslow Pates and Terrines and chicken livers from Chummy of Moore and Lyon

Happy eating to you all...

Cakes and Bakes for Macmillan Cancer Support World's Biggest Coffee Morning - Friday 25th September 2015

Did you go to a Macmillan Cancer Support World's Biggest Coffee Morning Event last week and did you enjoy a slice of delicious cake, a piece of millionaires shortbread perhaps even a flapjack or brownie???

I hope you did for I did and all these cakes and bakes were at the Events I attended and photographed and it was all good fun...and I really hope we made good funds for Macmillan Cancer Support...because that was what all the fun was for.  And how amazing that is, for us to gather our family, friends and neighbours and share a cup of steaming hot coffee and a slice or two of some gorgeous homemade cake or bake or, if life is just too busy, to indulge our desire to feed our friends and raise some funds for others, we pop into M & S or another favourite supermarket and buy a delicious cake or two!

Well, that was done in The Calendar Girls so there's no reason why we shouldn't do the same if we must, hey!

So here's a few photos of the cakes and bakes I encountered last weekend and, if you've a mind too, I should love to see photos of your Coffee Morning Events and the cakes you were fortunate enough to encounter too??

three delicious cake settings for John Nicholls (Trading) Ltd.

three gorgeous cake settings for Pizza Express Banbury...

three scrummy coffee and Coffee Cake Pot's for tasting settings at Marks and Spencer

three mouthwatering cake collections for Anker and Partners

And finally......

three delectable cake and bake settings for Philippa at Banbury Rugby Union Football Club

Well, does that make your mouth water, my vision of these scrumptious cakes and bakes lovingly made by kind friends and bakers for Macmillan Cancer Support World's Biggest Coffee Morning for their 25th Birthday Anniversary for 2015...

Will you kindly send me photos of the delicious cakes and bakes you were fortunate to taste at the Coffee Morning Events you attended....I hope you do!!!

Many thanks lovely coffee and cake bakers and eaters everywhere...
