Today I think of my terrified grandmother who lived in Treharris. A year earlier, at age 14, she lost her mother to cancer and left school to take care of her siblings. Her father and brother walked to Aberfan to dig the children out. She was terrified that her father was going to die.

#RecipeOfTheDay is the comforting Welsh fruited tea loaf, Bara Brith, to be eaten spread so generously with butter that the Danes would call it tandsmør, which is to say, butter spread thickly enough that you leave teeth marks in it after taking a bite! www.nigella.com/recipes/bara...

nigella.comBara BrithI have a particular fondness for Bara Brith, the traditional Welsh fruit-speckled tea bread. My late sister Thomasina lived and worked in Wales, and my first taste of it came courtesy of her next door...
