Written for Saturday Stream of Consciousness. I remember baking with my mum, and making cakes and biscuits. The icing on the cake was being able to clean the bowl with a spoon. Now we know to be careful with raw egg, but then it wasn’t known as a health risk. More so because if theContinue reading “Baking a Cake”

Family Tree – For Stream of Consciousness
A few years ago my sister-in-law looked into our family tree – she went back to the 1500’s and we found out some interesting things. There were three sisters, and they came from a rich family. Somewhere in Aylesbury there is the ancestral home, which belonged to them, but because they were female and notContinue reading “Family Tree – For Stream of Consciousness”
Rev – #SoCS
‘Rev . . . reverse,’ I said, my stutter got worse. The driving instructor sat there, his paunch hanging a little over his trousers. A clip board in one hand, his round spectacles in the other.

For The Friday Reminder – Stream of Consciousness
‘Boo!’ My brother grabs his sides as I throw my now empty mug across the room. ‘Oi, that nearly hit me,’ he says, between his bursts of laughter. ‘Next time it will,’ I say, putting the kettle on to boil again. He has always been the joke, but on Halloween, he gets way worse. ThereContinue reading “For The Friday Reminder – Stream of Consciousness”
Word Prompts – Word of the Day/Stream of Consciousness.
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2021/08/21/marzipan/ Marzipan, in years all told, and I am in childhood mode. Parties where my mum would either buy a cake, with marzipan covering the top like a blanket. Or she would get one of her sisters to bake a cake with marzipan. My ode to marzipan is a short one because I’m not theContinue reading “Word Prompts – Word of the Day/Stream of Consciousness.”
