Cookie cats


Yesterday at the Brunton in Musselburgh we had a choice of morning fun and frolics - either the Lothian Cat Rescue bazaar or Scottish Slimmers. Well, dear reader - guess which one we went for.

Yes, the bazaar.

They usually start around 10:30, but they was a queue even at 10:20. The jumble sale goods themselves were OK - we got some homemade jams and chutneys all for less than a pound. But the best bit is the home baking stall. Here you either sit in with a nice cuppa or take away freshly prepared cakes, crumbles and shortbread.

So we got ginger shortbread, some carrot cake and coffee and walnut cake - splendid they were at 60p a pop - having them later in the day as a treat after shopping in Edinburgh. There are also fruit loaves and apple crumbles which you can take away and put in the freezer.

Check out the LCR website for the next one which is due near the end of November. And remember it's for a good cause.

The picture above is of Billie - who was a rescue cat and has used me as a trampoline most mornings for the past 8 years.

  1. The Victoria Sponge was also very good - and Billie costs us £25 but she is of course priceless!
