Yesterday was a very sad day for us. My husband’s lovely Mum passed away after a very long illness. I am feeling very heavy hearted. She was a very kind and generous person and we are all going to miss her so much.

I’m posting this recipe alongside my tribute to her because I made these last year and gave her some to try, as I often did. She said they were lovely, even with cranberries which she wasn’t normally fond of. My mum-in-law and I would quite often have a gossip over coffee and whatever biscuit or cake I brought over. I’ll always cherish the time we spent together ❤
