Mrs Smith's Diary: December 1st 1953 - Nellie mad

Mrs Smith's Diary:
December 1st 1953 - Nellie made a Christmas cake for me & it went flop so I didn't get it.

Christmas baking , successful or not, was underway amongst Mrs Smith's friends.
Following the stir-up Sunday tradition our learning officer and their mum made a Christmas pudding live on Facebook.
Check out our Facebook page to watch it for yourself!
