Could you send one of those delectable Eccles Cakes from St. John Bread & Wine to yours truly on the west coast of Canada? Let’s see how the Royal Mail and Canada Post deal with this sweet situation.
In drooling anticipation, I remain . . . . . . . . . . . drooling.

As I read this I was ‘taken to London for a short time’ – great story with baking goods as the theme and all the history that came up along the way. Loved the bit about a biscuit being posted in the mail.

Glad it ended with a delicious looking Eccles cake! PS I really love the Life of Times of Mr Pussy too, what a charming and touching little book—I shall keep it as one of my treasures.
