Scramble for 'Lacock at War' this weekend..

Oh my word, another squadron, we've been rumbled!...

Dramatic moment a Spitfire lands without any wheels.

'Lacock at War' Victory in Europe 70th Anniversary, 15th & 16th August 2015

From the West Wiltshire MVT website:

'This is now our third appearance at Lacock Village and we have decided to build on the success of our last show, to bring you another great event for 2015. Our idea is to bring the village alive by stepping back in time. 

You can expect to see an array of Military Vehicles, both old and new. Most of these will be on the field, with hopefully a few dotted around the village too. A great picture opportunity!

There will be great trade stands to look around, living history exhibits and NAAFI to enjoy a tea & doughnut.

We will also have living history groups, who will be set up on the field and parading through the Lacock Village streets. WW2 period dress is encouraged to make Lacock Village come alive with the sights and sounds of the 1940's. 

• Over 70 Military and Vintage vehicles booked in
• 16 Living History groups 
• Lots of Trade Stalls  
• Dakota fly-by 

Achtung! Germans on bicycles in  Lacock High Street...call the Frome Spits!

Anyone for Tiffin?...

Lady Montague-Smithereens recipe for Chocolate Tiffin

110g (4 oz) butter 

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons golden syrup 

4 teaspoons cocoa 

225g (8 oz) crushed Rich Tea biscuits or Digestives

1 handful of raisins 

225g (8 oz) cooking chocolate - half milk & half dark

Obviously, our American cousins add pecan nuts and, God forbid, something called Peanut Butter and those pretned biscuits, Oreo's... 

Method
Prep:10min  ›  Cook:5min  ›  Extra time:1hr setting  ›  Ready in:1hr15min 

1. In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa. Add the biscuits and raisins when melted. Stir to combine.
2. Pour mixture into a swiss roll size tin and press down. Melt the cooking chocolate and pour over the mixture in the tin.
3. Pop the tin into the fridge and leave for about 1 hour to set. To serve, cut into about 20 pieces.

Tip:

Melt the chocolate by microwaving (what's that? It not invented yet..)) at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, till melted. But be careful not to scorch the chocolate! Otherwise, melt in a double boiler.

Last piece of Tiffin...

The Squadron have been playing 'rock, paper, scissors' for the last piece of Tiffin donated to us by Lady Montague-Smithereen...
