Preparations for the party

I have now cooked a couple of dinners on the aga, and its going ok. Though I really need to tackle the main roasting oven and get baking.

I’m going to brave it today and either try a Madeira cake, so delicious, lemony and soft with its sugary crust, and something I have baked a million times. The other option is to go for cookies- less risky than a sponge I think, but equally tasty and a fine partner to a cuppa.
