Tick Tally = 6
I had been back in the bush (from a lovely and relaxing long-weekend away in Johannesburg) for all of 6 hours before one of them latched itself fimly onto my leg… why me?

Claire’s Tick Tally = 5
I can’t believe I’ve removed 5 (5!) ticks alraedy this season! My last little friend hitched a ride after I spent a while trudging through the african wilderness flushing wild dogs from their resting spot in dense bush…
Eww. That seems the only appropriate thing to say.
And for want of a photo of my own very tick, here’s a photo I got from google… just to illustrate…
Eww. Again.
Tried & True … take two!

Desipte my horrible and disasterous last baking attempt, I was inspired (or, more accurately, threatened with grievous bodily harm) to bake again.
With the fear of a riot or buring at the stake looming large, the pressure was on!
I did, though, manage to produce a beautiful moist but light chocolate cake, and I have now discovered that it can be used to hold ransom and demand favours from all those who threaten violence if a cake is not produced in a timely fashion. What favours I shall call in this season, no one knows, but at least I’m storing some cards up my sleeve for the future!
Oh, and yes, it was my original tried & true recipe, which was not altered in any way, shape or form… and that’s the only way it’s meant to be!
