Thanks Kate. I like to be able to date recipes. This would make a good comparision recipe for early war, late war puds. I would imagine they would taste very different. I have made a late war one which was very dry...or perhaps that was just my cooking!  Jude |

I like the bulrushes/light arrangement and the tipsy rabbit (?)! I made my Christmas cake (my first ever!) from a 1948 ministry of food leaflet- still needs decorating and I’m yet to decide on a theme!!! I was wondering about an army/ navy or air force theme (like the ones from the stork c book)…. Decisions, decisions, decisions. T x |

In the end I didn’t have chance to make any models (all ideas but no get up and go me!), so I made a cake frill (of sorts!) instead! I didn’t even use my old cake decorations either….Tut, tut.   Btw the cake was rather tasty and I shall put up the recipe if anyone wishes?! |

As we have little ones in the house, we have not displayed our 1930s Christmas ornaments for many a year, but at the mo in Britain a number of the retailers have caught onto the idea of 'vintage Christmas' thus we have been able to procure reasonable repro (shatter proof) Christmas decorations. See image http://twitpic.com/dn537b Anyone else been able to source repro Christmas decorations? |
