Famous Christmas Cake Incident of 1988

This was a by-product of the egg scare in England that year.  My Aunt Beryl had taken a cake decorating course that year and had decorated a beautiful Christmas cake.  Unfortunately there had been a salmonella outbreak that autumn and no one was using eggs.  She used fake eggs and as a result when we went to cut the icing, it had turned to concrete.  I can't even remember how we got through to the cake which was still edible, but it took a lot of time and effort!

Off to England for Christmas, first stop Reading


Where some Canadians residing in France visiting England found a dog that was picked up by an Australian living in England and that rode a motorcycle (got it?!)  This happened while visiting the Pages who are responsible for the existence of us children.  Our mother met them while at Chapel Hill and they advised her to study at Durham where she met our Dad.
