Christmas Cake

The crafting goodies are packed away to make space for Christmas festivities, so since I've nothing to share with you I thought you might like this Christmas Cake recipe. It's not my own original one, it is a survivor from the days back in the 1980s when hand typed and hastily photocopied funnies were often passed around offices in the way emails are forwarded or Facebook memes shared now:
