Cyclists' Brack:
===
Simon, Nigel, Clare and I have decided to constitute ourselves an informal cake research subgroup. At the time we were sampling an Irish brack or tea-cake (so called because it's made with tea, not for tea) which my mother calls Cyclists' Brack because it's ideal for warding off what she would not call the bonk. In other words it's an easily portable and very tastey source of quick energy.
450ml (15 fl oz) cold tea
200g (7 oz) brown sugar
340g (12 oz) dried fruit
280g (10 oz) self-raising wholemeal flour
1 egg
Soak the sugar and fruit overnight in the tea. In a separate bowl add the beaten egg to the flour and stir. Add the tea mixture. Cook in a greased loaf tin for an hour and a half at 190° C (Gas Mark 4). This gives 2,580 KCal (91% carbohydrate), for what it's worth.

Pavement parking on Grantchester St - 3 or 4 cars at a time every morning when the children are taken to school.

Memo to self - do not call for a fire engine when the Newnham Croft school pick-up combines with the permanent jam of builders' vans to block the roads. It's not as if there weren't parking spaces around the corner.

I wish cars going straight on down Grantchester St would indicate! Legally it's a left turn, but northbound cyclists constantly find themselves waiting uselessly at the junction for cars which in fact don't cross in front of them.

Swing right here to Eltisley Avenue for the Grantchester Meadows cycle route.
