We Will Remember Them 11th November 2012

                                                  

Zippos Circus

A good evening may be had at Zippos Circus. No nasty  cruel animal tricks just some well trained horses. The rest is acrobats and two of the funniest clowns I have ever seen doing a slow motion mime of a wild west shoot out.

Wear warm sweaters.

                                                           

Pianos--we love them

The University of Cambridge Music Faculty Festival of Ideas have placed old but playable pianos around the city and have invited passers by to have a go at playing them

This is proving very successful. Our granddaughter was thrilled when people stopped to listen to her play.
The duet playing Embraceable You were brilliant. People are turning up prepared with music, it is getting competitive-- well it is Cambridge!

                                             

Jam Jar issues put fund-raising cooks in a pickle

This what the Church Times has to say

Fund-raising cooks in a pickle


Not sure this makes things any clearer

have decided to re- use jam jars and buy new lids.

Jam Jars and the European Union

Charity fund raisers everywhere are just realising that we can no longer legally use our recycled jars for making jams ,pickles and marmalades to sell at home bake stalls
Buying new ones is expensive and adds  a great deal to the cost of making home produce.

If you are planning a Christmas or Winter fair and selling jams etc. like me you are probably infuriated at this petty restriction , jars are easy to sterilise using a dish washer followed by heating in the oven prior to filling with  hot jam.
