Blue Tit on our fat balls.
I had already started off soaking the ingredients for a malt loaf and popped it in the oven very early this morning. It is a a fat free recipe and very easy to make, so here are the instructions for you to have a go.
Malt Loaf.
1 cup of Allbran
1 cup of raisins
3/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
After these have been stirred together and soaked for a while add 1 cup of SR flour and mix thoroughly together. Put into a loaf tin and cook for about 50 minutes on 180c, 350f or gas 4.
If you have a fan oven maybe you'll need less cooking time.
I put a strip of baking sheet along the bottom of the tin and up the ends, thus providing an easy way to lift it out afterwards.
As I don't like eating Allbran as a breakfast cereal, this makes a very nice alternative.
After scuttling about a lot yesterday, today has been a more relaxing day.
We will need to build up our energies in readiness for the bulk coal delivery next week anyway!
I took the rubbish and recycling along to the marina today and was fascinated to see all the different footprints of Moor-hens, Ducks and Canada Geese in the snow and along the ice on the canal.
Up in the village the snow is fast disapearing and turning into a nasty brown slippery slush.
Ah, the Braunston bell-ringers have just arrived for their evenings practice, how nice!

Hi Wozzie
re your q on batteries, ours are Numax and have been fine and coped really well with everything. Saying that, like most they don't like us being static for this long! Usually during normal cruising activity, if we don't move we only charge for about 1.5 hrs a day, but where we've been static for 4 weeks now, we're charging for longer.....2 -3 hrs. It doesen't help that we hammer them a lot more when static as well! Hope this helps :-)
