I can almost smell that.
At Christmas you can add a bit of brandy to the following to make it extra special I can almost smell that.
300 gm mixed dried fruit
50 gm dried cranberries
115 gm butter or margarine
250 ml boiling water
150 gm caster sugar or muscovado (optional but don't bother unless you like really sweet stuff)
That all goes in a saucepan and heat through while stirring until the butter is melted. The idea is for the fruit to swell. When it comes to the boil leave it all to cool.
When it's cold you can add the remaining ingredients,
2 beaten eggs
250 gm self raising flour
1 tsp mixed spice
Eggs first and stirred in. Then add the flour and the mixed spice. Place the mixture in a well greased loaf tin (ours is 210mm by 110mm internal) and cook for an hour at 175 C, then take it out and test it by pushing a thin knife into the middle. If it comes out clean it's cooked. Alternatively you can tap the top and listen, if it sounds hollow then that's good.If it's not cooked enough then give it a bit longer in the oven.
Saltcoats by Chris Marr, on FlickrI've been using my other halfs little entry level Nikon this week as I decided to try and murder my D750 a few weeks ago, seem's I was quite successful as well. Really enjoyed it to be honest, I had to pay a lot more attention as the FX lets you get away with under and over exposing more.

I think I can probably manage that.
Might need a trial run or two before a Christmas version ....

You might be better off using somewhere else to store the image and then linking to it.
Thumbsnap is handy for unimportant stuff but not great for displaying the quality of an image ... nor apparently getting the orientation right!

LRM_EXPORT_20171030_104949 by Alex Mason, on FlickrSome reel good cinema experience going on there... Merlin Cinemas Embassy cinema in Ilfracombe. Think it has all of 3 screens. Knackered old seats and screen dressing that looks like you're about to experience a Punch and Judy show!
First time out since having my D750's shutter replaced, both at iso 12800.

I love that. Looks like it was painted by Jan Van Eyck or something More Light Sculpting by Ed Phillips, on FlickrA little too dark perhaps ...
