This must be a record...
Elder Daught bought us - via Amazon - a bread machine for our birthdays, and I'm having tremendous fun playing with it, (may be a separate post about this, I've got a lot to learn), but as I wanted to make a cake today, I scoured the shelves for the various spices, vanilla etc...
How's about this then...'Baking powder' - Tesco - June 2013!
AND - 'Mixed spice' - Sainsbury's - January 2003!
So I was around fifty-four when we bought the spice in the Hastings store!
...Er, how time flies..;0~
