Get some sticky-back plastic…
There is a lot about Advent in the Blogosphere at the moment. Whenever I see an Advent candle I always think of coathangers. This is because Blue Peter always used to make one every year with four candles (or was that Fork Handles?), lighting one each programme before Christmas. I was surprised that I couldn’t find an image online, but eventually I tracked down some instructions on how to make one, click on the picture for a bigger image (and to read the words).
Instructions for making one from this site
I did look to see if I could find it on YouTube, sadly not, however, here is Valerie making things for Christmas…
Meanwhile, here is Major Misunderstanding…

Reminds me of John Noakes’ swiss fingers - the best thing I’ve ever baked.

Pat, I remember when the camp fire caught fire live on Blue Peter, surrounded by Brownies.
