Jealous. I'm in the kitchen about to start the batter for the Yorkshire puddings, peel veg etc. I expect the family will appear when it's done to ask what they can do to help.
Hoping to get out next week though.

Sounds lovely. I has cider and a bag of nuts for lunch for the second day in a row. Saying that I did 45 miles on Friday, 62 yesterday and a gentle 20 odd today via the pub on the river. Out tomorrow for a big lunch and hopefully a beer garden with friends and kids. Happy easter

Yorkshire puddings are easy to make.
4oz plain flour (sieved), 1/2 pint of milk, 2 eggs.
Whisk the eggs up and add to the sieved the flour and give a good mix. Add enough of the milk to make a stiff batter, leave it for a couple of minutes and then add the rest of the milk, give it a really good whisk, best using an electric whisk, you need to get it nice and frothy. Pour the mix into a jug and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Use lard in the baking tray and get the oven as hot as you can. Have the baking tray in the oven until the lard is smoking then add the batter. Give the batter a final whisk before you pour it into the tins. Don't open the oven until they have risen!
Perfect Yorkshires everytime

And he fails every time with that exact same recipe. Even gets the oil to burning point on the stove top, he still fails. I don't know how or why but that is what he does... I have covered everything with him time and time again and still they are flatter than pancakes and once not even edible. Don't know what is wrong. He even tried blaming the oven and went out and purchased an oven thermometer and it told him that gas 8 was 230C...

This.
Except I used a hand whisk.
I have had much better results since I switched back to lard from vegetable oil and using individual tins too. I think getting the fat as hot as possible before adding the batter is key.
He needs to heat the fat in the tin in the oven.

That reply is all topsy-turvy! I didn't have a photo but then I discovered that my son's girlfriend (she only took 2 roasties!) had taken a picture on whats app, so got her to send it to me. Then uploading it to here from my phone went a bit wrong.

Loving the mix of fun /funny /silly /serious /great photos.
The first time I came across this competition was as a result of finding the 'recent posts' button. There was someone on a bike with a cone on their head! I can't remember which clown it was because I hadn't learnt everyone's names. It took me a while to work out how to join in, I'm a slow learner but another discovery of the 'watch thread' button helped! He he. Not long after, I remember being wowed by satnav's stunning Autumn picture of a red post box with her red bike, red brick wall and red leaves.
I have enjoyed my first time as a judge but am very much looking forward to a new theme next week.
I hope that the pleasure of looking at all the pictures will make up for the agony of decision making I have to do in the morning.
Wish me luck!!

I was able to find one for you.... Mainly cos I knew I'd taken one but wasn't sure which thread it was in, but I knew it was at the Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride. This may not be the one you were thinking of....OK - I did the Bristol's Biggest Bike ride on sunday and saw this one:
