St Abbs lifeboat house. Since Saturday, 17 September 2016, it has housed the “Thomas Tunnock” - an independent lifeboat, ie NOT RNLI run. The current man at the helm of Tunnock's donated a major amount, so the ship was named after his late brother and grand father, who founded Tunnock's. Many Scots (all Scots) are simply delighted that Tunnock's produce what they do, and wish them on-going success. My favourites are Teacakes, Caramel Wafers and their Cherry Cake.

Let the celebrations begin...
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.

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.

My bears Paddy and Scout have made very good friends with two bears in Holland called Peter and Oleg (www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577154558... and www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577233464... ) and their Mummy Marian Kloon (on and off) . Peter and Scout are very similar and have become best friends. Peter also loves Rosie and she loves him, so they have become prince and princess to one another. Oleg and Paddy are very similar as well, and are now best friends too. Aurora (www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577235370...) is a tenacious little polar bear who is Nanuk's niece, and who loves Scout's cute little nose, and Scout's personality. They are very good friends. Today is Mummy Marian's birthday so everybear, and duck is excited and so too am I!
Happy Birthday (gelukkige verjaardag) dear Marian! We hope that it is wonderful day full of love! With lost and lots of big little bear hugs and snuffly kisses (berenkusjes en knuffels) from all of us!
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Rosie is Scout's cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, includng the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England. He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Daisy Maud is Jago\'s little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him. She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes. A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.
Made by Merrythought in England, Emmett is a charming little bear, sweet and smiling, crafted from multi-tonal marl grey mohair and featuring golden velvet paws. He is accessorised with a classic tartan woollen scarf. He is number 23 or a limited worldwide edition of 200.
Duckie I saw when I was at a Sunday market on a stall of homemade knitted and crocheted items. She caught my eye straight away with her happy, smiley face and bright colours. I think she finds life with my bears intriguing and perhaps a little confusing, however she is learning.

This is an outtake from studio work for Trinity's birthday invitation. Ahhh good stuff.
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.
In the background is the lifeboat station. There had been a lifeboat here since the loss of a steamship and 16 of her crew in 1911, and the local community was dismayed when the RNLI withdrew the local lifeboat in 2015. An appeal was launched to pay for a new boat and Boyd Tunnock of Tunnock's Teacakes covered the majority of the cost. 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.
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.
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?

Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer, the red‑and‑gold classic of Uddingston, sharing the national stage with its soft‑centred sibling, the Teacake, as twin pillars of Scotland’s sweet-tooth identity.
If the Caramel Wafer is the workhorse of Scottish tea breaks, the Tunnock’s Teacake is the show‑off: that dome of biscuit, marshmallow and chocolate that somehow feels both nostalgic and celebratory. Between them, they’ve become cultural shorthand, exported worldwide, hoarded in office drawers, and instantly recognisable from their foil alone.
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!
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.
Size matters, thats for sure, the control tower at Edinburgh Airport has no issues there, however when it comes to the sweet things in life, there's nothing like a Tunnocks teacake..
Still the original size, we all hope so....dont look down, look up.
Queuing for toasted teacakes, flat white and two teas!!
Can you see me!!?
But the main reason we are here today is that the Bike and Brew Passport event is over for this year..
So I handed in my passport, they counted up how many cafes we had visited and entered us into the prize draw!!
Plus I get the passport back too..
We have been to 40 various different biker cafes from April-Sept..
GBRf 66791 runs light engine wrong line through a busy Lincoln Station as 6E30 Whitemoor LDC - Doncaster Up Decoy Yard 24 May 2021.
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'!
During our week's holiday in Scotland in September 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 a few miles north of the English border at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

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!!

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...
Explore July 31 highest position #274 Scout failed to pick it up.
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.
