With thanks to Sandra Hyde for this month’s account of Baking Group – May

“Our remit this month was “Anything for a Summer Gathering” and tonight’s table truly celebrated that theme.
The offerings included Lemon and Blueberry cake bars; a classic Victoria Sponge served with clotted cream; a Summer Fruit Pavlova; Mille-Feuilles (French for “thousand sheets” also known as Vanilla Slices); Gingerbread and Apple Muffins; a Summer Berry Shortbread cake -a delightful combination of shortbread, cake and jam; and Napolitaine (iconic Mauritian shortbread cookies).
Altogether, it was a delightful evening of summer flavours and good company. Our sincere thanks to Jan for her gracious hospitality.

June is the Month of Community 💚

It’s a chance to celebrate the people that make our communities so special.

All across the UK, people are coming together to say thank you, meet neighbours, support good causes, welcome others in, reduce loneliness, celebrate volunteers, support carers, take action for nature and share food and friendship.

There are events and initiatives happening throughout June, with lots of different ways for you to get stuck in! Whether you join something big, do something small, or simply bring a few people together where you live, you’ll help build stronger, kinder and more connected communities.

Find out what’s happening and how you can get involved here 👉 monthofcommunity.com
