Fitting in some woodturning at The James Homestead, a love of wood, creating and seeing the beauty in the grain revealing its beauty. A great hobby or more for women who enjoy working with wood, no brute strength required.

No one knows why these are called cheesecakes, old-fashioned favourite, thats been around a long time. No cheese in them at all!! Just pastry base with jam centre and sponge top. A yummy afternoon tea treat.
