On its way to Scotland for you volver.

Which brings me a small point about New Zealand. My daughter and family are currently living there as many of you know. I had a message from her this week; hot cross buns are $24 dollars for four there. That’s about £12 for four hot cross buns. I should think at that price there’s only the royal family who could afford them (got to get the royals in somewhere, it’s a royal thread.)

Thank you JaneJudge,TillyTrotter, and volver for cake admiration. I just hope it tastes as good as it looks. Mr M can barely wait for tomorrow. I’m still wondering if the Queen likes simnal cake? Or Harry and Meghan come to that. Maybe Meghan has never come across simnal cake as she’s American. I don’t know what their Easter customs are.

Ohh, that could be something I have in common with Meghan! I've never had simnel cake either! Send me a slice maddyone wink

I bet the queen would have preferred to just see her grandson.

Do you mean that you think his wife wasn't welcome? Please tell us you don't mean that sad

I can’t imagine what people are saying to be deleted.

I believe Harry saw Prince Charles and that their conversation didn’t last long. ?

All the posts being deleted.

Always one for pictures me, I just saw a few photos and a newsreel of Harry and Meghan at the games. Lots of running about after them by a dead cat on a stick and someone wearing a headset looking like Atom Ant. Is the Netflix production a cartoon?
I do like Meghan's jacket.

Simnel culture, I think.

Is this an example of ‘cancel culture’?

It is now being said that simnel cake is poisonous to republicans.

Probably not true, but it is being said.
