My Mum had the most fabulous old cook book, which I wish I had been able to keep when she passed (I think/hope one of my sisters has it).

We all get like it sometimes and it's good to know blogging can offer us all the chance to reach out. No wonder you feel blue with this dire weather is it? I hope the blanket lifts for good for you.<br /><br />On another note, I have always wanted a still room like you describe. It would be bliss and would definitely satisfy the hoarder in me. xxPipanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048984447721169350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-73486232437901521182010-08-26T08:24:23.078+01:002010-08-26T08:24:23.078+01:00Yummy looking cake and what a delightful little bo...Yummy looking cake and what a delightful little book.

My aunt in Sherborne makes wonderful Dorset Apple Cake but as that's not a million miles from you perhaps yours could be called Somerset/Dorset border apple cake..... whatever it's called it looks scrummy. I love that drawing of all the jars in the cupboard I would buy the book for the drawings alone! Good to hear the palette has changed from grey to apple green.

I can remember it was quite succesful and they certainly kept.

Interesting that you made Devon Apple cake - I made Dorset apple cake earlier this week - I wonder how it differs! After reading online about freezing apples - you can apparently wash, core, leave unpeeled and whole, bag, straight into the freezer. I did that yesterday so will be interested how they survive. xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428734866238643758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-18216556240791050092010-08-25T17:21:09.511+01:002010-08-25T17:21:09.511+01:00Oohhh apples...

I am not venturing into Jellies etc as I have no-where to leave them draining overnight so I will try chutneys, mustards and cordials first... I have some plums and apples to pick next week... no point collecting them really till the kitchen is finished... the thought of prepping some jars is quite exciting and I will be gifting them to some unsespecting relatives for Christmas! lol<br /><br />The cake looks yummy... I use to have a slice of apple cake at a cream tea shop at East Chinnock ... the lady there could make fantastic scones... I think her husband sold up after she lost her battle with cancer... such a shame! ... really miss their friendly faces and their even yummier cream teas...<br /><br />x AlexPink Feather Paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362222817573569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-33719812975650859312010-08-25T17:07:16.553+01:002010-08-25T17:07:16.553+01:00I love old cookery books and have a small collecti...I love old cookery books and have a small collection.
