Do you like Christmas cake? Nowadays Christmas cake is part of the tradition for Christmas tea, with Christmas pudding to follow the turkey for dinner. But what is the history of this cake? Many years ago there was plum porridge (probably with meat) to fill bellies after a day of religious fasting. Next other fruits and a dash of honey were added. After that, perhaps in the 16th century, flour was used instead of oats, and eggs were added. Spices came from the east like the Three Kings. More things were added – almond paste and icing (frosting). And decorations!

Ma dew radn meur dhe'n Beybel Sans - Testament Coth ha Testament Nowydh. Do you know the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"? Once upon a time this was full of symbolism. It was an important time for Christians, and there was a meaning to each day. The first day of Christmas my true-love sent to me a partridge, "une perdrix" (there's no tree). This is a bird that will die to protect her children. That signifies our Lord. On the second day of Christmas he sent me two turtle dov...

The muddied flowers have a sweet smell, but I can't take a photo of a smell. The sky is grey with clouds and I can't see the low sun. However, at night time I can't see the rough garden and the muddy lane. And now there is a full moon, and it is high in the sky. All the little clouds are coloured with silver, and sometimes I am seeing colours around the moon.
