The verdict...

They certainly did like the vinegar cake - I sliced it into eight equal portions so that there were two pieces each for them and they have eaten it all!  The FH says that they really enjoyed their afternoon, and spent time sharing memories and telling stories, as older chaps are wont to do.  I think they will be looking forward to getting together again in a week or two.  I shall have to think of a different cake for them.

I'll be back posting again tomorrow - I hope you are all enjoying this glorious sunshine that we have had lately, but I have been thinking particularly about those who have suffered the horrendous floods this week.
