In September 2015 the RNLI withdrew their lifeboat from St Abb's on the south-east coast of Scotland. There had been one here since the loss of a steamship and 16 of her crew in 1911, and the local community was dismayed. An appeal was launched to pay for a new boat and £70,000 was raised within a few weeks. But much more was needed. Boyd Tunnock of Tunnock's Teacakes had sent a cheque for £10,000 and the organisers phoned to thank him. He asked how much was actually needed, and was told that the target figure was a quarter of a million. He promptly wrote another cheque. The new lifeboat was delivered in July 2016 and is named Thomas Tunnock after Boyd's grandfather. It is a 9-metre RIB with room for 12 survivors and four crew. The top speed is 47 knots and the range is 150 nautical miles. The St Abb's lifeboat is back in business.
During our week's holiday in Scotland in October we stayed just outside Dunbar in East Lothian, just off the south-east coast. One place that we absolutely fell in love with was the tiny fishing village of St Abbs, which is about three miles up the coast from Eyemouth.

These luxe earrings are named after one of my favorite snacks and this recipe is so perfect for Fall!! I'm sooo ready to wear my thick cashmere sweaters and drink a large cup of Earl Grey tea, while I watch the leaves fall from the trees in our backyard! YAY for Fall!
All components of these luxe earrings are made out of solid 14KT gold wires. The earwires are handformed and soldered by me.
The earrings feature AAA super polished/smooth Champagne Citrine briolettes that are buttery smooth. They are absolutely divine and flawless! Each briolette measures 16mm by 16mm. The fabulous briolette is topped with clusters of AAA garnet briolettes and rondelles, and champagne citrines rondelles and cubes.

This is an outtake from studio work for Trinity's birthday invitation. Ahhh good stuff.
A new scan of a drawing I did some time ago. North Street Postern formed a termination in the portion of York Bar Walls enclosing the Micklegate area of the city. A chain was extended across the River Ouse to Lendal Tower on the far bank. There was also a small postern gateway to allow access to the river bank. In the 1840s a new gateway, with flanking access for pedestrians was designed by G T Andrews for the new coal staithes attached to the railway. The tower became Barker Tower in the early 19th century when it was rented by the ferry that operated from the steps alongside it. The ferry was replaced by Lendal bridge in the 1860s. The Perky Peacock cafe has occupied it more recently. I can recommend their coffee and toasted teacakes.
The We're Here group members are having to eat Biscuits today,
Sorry George, until the grocery delivery arrives this is the best I can do. "Tunnock's Teacake - a delicious biscuit base topped with marshmallow and covered with real milk chocolate." Real milk chocolate you note, not fake milk chocolate.
no new shots at the mo as iv had a cold all week and feeling too rubbish to edit
this is a shot of the wasp i was feeding toasted teacake to this summer
i watched him meticulously working his way round this currant and where he bit into it his ‘jaws’ left square edges in the flesh – making it look like jelly cubes!
there was a thing on autumnwatch last week about recognising a wasp by his face patterns – does anyone know what this fella is?
(PLEASE NO AWARDS OR PICTURES OR FLASHY BADGES)
So much choice this week. I have gone for the delightful, the tasty, with lots of butter, humble currant teacake. HMM everyone!
Warning: swan photos coming up! It was all about timing cos all the swans were preening themselves and I took quite a few photos hoping to get them with their heads up!! In the distance you can see the Canoe Lake cafe where we stopped for a cup of tea and Tunnack's Teacake!

Fortunately for me it ran 25 minutes early as otherwise I would have been caught in the 'rain radar app' predicted bad weather! It started 'spitting' as I began photographing, but fortune smiled and I had adequate time to take shelter before the following downpour. I retired early for a coffee and teacake over the road, 'game over'!
Thought I'd stay on the biscuit theme today.
I had two options to construct this image.
1. to use the same teacake in different stages, moving around the scene, and merge them in photoshop, or
2. to use 12 teacakes and eat 11 of them, positioning them as I went.
If you know me, you'll know which option I went for!

Posted in response to the Macro Mondays' group weekly theme "Sweet Spot Squared". A challenging but educational theme for me for which I was grateful. An added bonus as I also got to eat the props afterwards......naughty but nice!!
HMM to all in the group
A selection of photos from the unique cafe at this superb attraction in Shropshire, England.
The British Ironworks is a sculpture park with an emphasis on recycling and re-purposing scrap iron, machine and auto parts, etc, in order to produce some amazing sculptures...some of which are placed in the cafe.
Quite an experience to eat your toasted teacakes while surrounded by super heroes...

This personal size cake is called the YOGA... perhaps, because it's made of yogurt and topped with a tiny slice of mango, a cherry and a grape with some sugar-free macarons de Paris on the side.
In England we have Scotch Eggs on the bar. In Scotland they seem to have different tastes. At this hotel in Linlithgow they had Tunnocks Teacakes and Tunnocks Caramel Logs on the bar. I’m not too bothered about Scotch Eggs, I tried them just once. Tunnocks on the other hand I could eat till my teeth hurt.
For more on this one, you could have a look at my blog: davewhatt.wordpress.com/2020/03/13/on-the-bed-and-then-in...
It had to happen sooner or later, Tunnock's Teacakes in my photo stream. They're iconic. (And bloody gorgeous)
