A Festive Post

Apologies for not posting on here much these days. A lot has been happening in my life and I simply have had very little time to blog. I have been making time for running and learning professional skills that will enable me to develop my career.

Anyway, onto things of a festive nature.

Tonight I ran in the moonlit snow covered fields and woods near home. It was a special run, one of those I will not forget for a long time. I do love running so much. I am greatly looking forward to Christmas day with my wife Heidi and our dog Rosie when we will go for a run in the peaks somewhere.

Healthy Christmas cake. Yes, there is such a thing. Here is a recipe for a cake my wife baked recently. It uses no eggs or animal fats which is much healthier than most cakes!

Weetabix Cake

The following will make a 1lb loaf tin sized cake.

Ingredients

2 Weetabix
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup dried fruit
1 cup self raising flour

Method

Mix the first four ingredients, leave for several hours or overnight then add self raising flour.

Bake in oven at 180 degrees for 30 to 40 mins

Optional Seasonal Ingredients

Nuts of your choice (esp. ground almonds), rum and lots of amaretto. Top cake with marzipan.
