Anzac Day 2026

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Easter and Hot Cross Buns 2

Traditional hot cross buns are spiced sweet yeasted buns containing raisins or currants which are traditionally eaten on Good Friday.
They are decorated with a flour-paste cross representing the crucifixion and are often glazed with syrup and served warm with butter.
Common spices include cinnamon, mixed spice and nutmeg. Sometimes citrus peel is included.

Then a decade or so ago chocolate chip versions appeared.

Now it’s open slather. Anything goes.

Back in 2019 I posted about new versions.

All sorts of even more weird combinations are now available.

Here’s a few from our region.
