Baking for Macmillan

Tomorrow is the World's Biggest Coffee Morning to raise money for Macmillan.  Macmillan is a marvellous charity that provides medical, emotional, practical and financial support for people diagnosed with cancer. My wonderful, caring sister is a palliative nurse so I know how hard the nurses work and what an invaluable service they provide.
The idea for a coffee morning started in 1990 when a local Macmillan fundraising committee decided to hold a coffee morning and it has now grown into a national event.  It is a good excuse to meet friends, have a coffee and cake and help a charity too.
Get baking and why not make these rich,  moresih, chocolate brownies.
