One Pavlova on the table!
When we were running the Walton Festival, we had a lovely lady called Bobby who although white haired and a wren officer in WW2 ( so you can guess her age at the time) did not do folk music as she put it, but was brilliant at being a committee person, she did all sorts of helpful things from dashing round in her snazzy car and collecting the forgotten or lost items to sticking up posters. On the last night of the festival she would somehow produce a three course dinner on the stage for the committee. One year she managed to give us Christmas dinner, turkey with all the trimmings! But best of all was her Pavlova, gorgeous meringue with Lemon curd topped with double cream and cherries!!!Jane and I were honoured to be told the secret and we always do a Bobby meringue in her honour at a bit of a do, as we say over here! She also had a fabulous Tippsy pudding, soak sponge fingers in brandy and some more in Sherry , then line a tin with the sponge fingers with melted dark chocolate between the layers, set in fridge till hard, top with double cream and eat!!
Ok both are on the table... dig in.
Billy and I really enjoyed the evening, the singing stopped at Midnight and then we sat and talked till 3.15, old friends we havent seen, old friends that have passed away( too many) and happy memories of days gone by.We will have another house concert in the spring.
Mudcatters very welcome.
