Happy Easter From The Heart

This beautiful photograph was taken by the owner of the hive.  The beekeeper forgot to put the frames in which the bees collect honey, and the bees built their own architecture from the honeycomb, which takes into account natural ventilation, so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature. This is the heart.

The photograph was posted on social media by Ernesto Murguía

Happy Easter!

The Bishops’ Kitchen – April 21

This month there are two chocolate recipes for children to make over the Easter holidays:

CHUNKY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BISCUITS

115g unsalted butter softened, 115g light muscovado sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 150g self raising flour, 75g porridge oats, 115g plain chocolate roughly chopped, 115g white chocolate roughly chopped.

Method:
Cream the butter & sugar until pale & fluffy. Add the egg & vanilla essence & beat well. Sift the flour over the mixture & fold in with a metal spoon then add the oats & chopped chocolate. Stir in until evenly mixed. Place small spoonfuls of the mixture in 18-20 rocky heaps on lightly greased baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 12-15 mins @ 190c/gas 5 until the biscuits have turned pale golden. Cool for 2-3 mins on the baking sheets then lift onto wire rack. The biscuits will be soft when freshly baked but will harden on cooling.

CHOCOLATE PECAN SQUARES

2eggs, 2tsp vanilla essence, pinch of salt, 175g pecan nuts roughly chopped, 50g plain flour, 50g granulated sugar, 120ml golden syrup, 75g plain chocolate chopped into small pieces, 40g unsalted butter, 16 pecan nut halves to decorate.

Method:
In a bowl whisk the eggs with the vanilla essence & salt. In another bowl mix together the nuts & flour. Put the sugar & golden syrup in a pan & bring to boil. Remove from heat & stir in the chocolate & butter with a wooden spoon until both have dissolved & the mixture is smooth. Stir in the beaten egg mixture then fold in the nuts & flour. Pour the mixture  into a 20cm square baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper & bake  for about 35mins or until firm to touch @160c/gas3. Cool in the tin for 10mins before  turning out on to a wire rack. Cut into 5cm squares & press pecan halves into the tops while still warm cool completely before serving.

Happy Mother’s Day – Sunday 14th March

Mothering Sunday is a day honouring mothers and mother churches everywhere. It is celebrated in the UK and elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

Mothers Day has fallen on the fourth Sunday in Lent since the Middle Ages.  It is exactly 21 days before Easter Sunday.  It is also known as Laetare Sunday, Refreshment Sunday and Rose Sunday.

The Romans also celebrated a Mother Goddess, Cybele, every March as far back as 250BC.

Mothering Buns
Mothering Buns

Mother’s Day has an association with the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand and the reprieve from fasting, therefore cakes and buns have long been made to celebrate.
Simnel cake is the most familiar and popular all the way through to Easter.  Popular in Bristol and other places are Mothering Buns: plain yeast-leavened buns, iced, and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.  Also easy for children to decorate. Best eaten for breakfast on that day.

Love is LoveIf you are able, treat your Mum, Step Mum, Granny, Nan, Pseudo Mum, Adoptive Mum, Single Mum – we are all amazing!

Mother’s Day for the next ten years will fall on the following dates:

  • 2021 – 14 March
  • 2022 – 27 March
  • 2023 – 19 March
  • 2024 – 10 March
  • 2025 – 30 March
  • 2026 – 15 March

Plant A Tree For Mothers Day – Sunday, 14th March

With just a week until Mother’s Day, some may have consumed enough chocolate throughout Lockdown so why not consider something a bit different?  The National Trust are giving you the opportunity to dedicate a single sapling or up to half a hectare of woodland to your Mum this Mother’s Day and you’ll be helping to support their aim to plant 20 million trees by 2030:

  • £5 will buy a tree sapling.
  • £50 will buy 10 tree saplings.
  • £250 will plant 50 square metres.
  • £500 will plant 100 sq.m.
  • £2,500 will plant one fottball pitch (half a hectare!).

You can choose your amount and choose if it is in memory of someone or a celebration. At the moment, you are unable to ‘tag’ a specific tree, or choose a location for a tree to be planted. However, they have the ambition to plant 20 million trees by 2030, and your donation today can directly help create a living memorial that benefits nature for everyone, for ever. 🙂

Donate & Dedicate Your Tree HERE.

National Trust LogoWith care, attention and natural progression, small saplings grow into happy, healthy woodlands full of wonder. A lot goes into nurturing new life – and Mum’s know it!
