Connecting…

lesley | 5 November 2025

Started during Covid
Now a tradition
Each November
Three of us
On zoom

My sister
Niece
And me
Ingredients gathered

Dried fruit, flour
Butter, eggs 
Sugar –
Dark

Spices, treacle, sherry
And a secret
Or two

Later we’ll share pictures
From kitchens
Filled with the sweet
And spicy scent of
Oven warm

Christmas

In December we’ll put
The icing on the cake
