Upside Down Together


Christmas is over
cards in a rubberband.
The trees are either fallen
or crushed in their box.
Trifle for breakfast
piles on the weight
but fridge leftovers
are keeping wallets safe!

Parks full of picnics,
footballs, family groups.
Sunhats, Afghan caps,
shawled headed women,
prayer gazebos under trees,
Pacific Island organised fine mats.

Chocolates are melting,
strawberries, cherries shared.
The wind takes hats off
a new decade arising
New Year greetings text'd
from around the world.

Upside down cake

25g butter melted with 1/4 cup of brown sugar - spread this in bottom of cake tin which has been lined with baking paper.

1 and 1/2 cups of SR Flour sifted in a bowl
3/4 cup sugar added
1 cup coconut added
1 cup milk added
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or almond essence added
