Missing Cat

Missing Cat - anyone seen Ali ? (Alejandro) Missing from Everingham since 5th July. 

Today (Monday 22nd July) Sara and Thomas may have spotted this cat at the edge of their field, near the public footpath, heading towards Mill Lane. We thought it was our black and white cat Indie but this cat ran off towards the kissing gate near Jon and Beatrice's horse paddock/field.

If anyone in Mill Lane spots a black and white cat can they let Caroline know. See picture for phone details. Thanks.

Cricket Success

The combined team of Bielby Hayton & Shiptonthorpe travelled to Escrick on Friday evening and despite being underdogs came away with the Canon Hedley Trophy with an excellent performance with all team members contributing.

It's a unique competition for villages in the area where the only rule is that all players must reside within the parish boundary.

The make up of the team was 6 from Bielby 3 from Hayton& 2 from Shiptonthorpe.

Scores

Bielby won the toss and batted making 135 for 2

John Chaplin 46,  Adam Thomas 20 & John Gilham 37 not out.

Escrick 105 for 5 with John Chaplin, Lewis Chaplin& George Baty taking 1 wicket each.

We last won the trophy in 2006 so it's been a long time between drinks!

Finally thanks to those villagers who came to support us, especially Jim Whitwell who I think has assumed the position of team manager!

Raspberry Meringue Roulade 

This is rather an unusual idea, and it makes a generous roulade. an excellent size for a party. It also freezes extremely well. Simply wrap in foil to freeze, then allow about 8 hours to thaw before serving.

• Cake tin needed: a 33 x 23cm (13 x 9in) Swiss roll tin

• 5 large egg whites
  
• 275g (10oz) caster sugar
• 50g (2oz) flaked almonds

For the filling;

• 300ml (½ pint) double cream
• 350g (12oz) fresh raspberries

Step one: Preheat the oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/gas 7. Line the tin with non-stick baking parchment.

Step two: Whisk the egg whites until very stiff. Gradually add the sugar, a teaspoon at a time, whisking well between each addition. Whisk until very, very stiff and all the sugar has been added.

Step three: Spread the meringue mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle with the almonds. Place the tin fairly near the top of the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes until pale golden. Then reduce the oven temperature to 160°C/325°F/gas 3 and bake the roulade for a further 15 minutes until firm to the touch.

Step four: Remove the meringue from the oven and turn it almond side down onto a sheet of non-stick baking parchment. Remove the parchment from the base of the cooked meringue and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step five: While the meringue is cooling, whisk the cream until it stands in stiff peaks, and gently mix in the raspberries with a spoon. Spread the cream and raspberries evenly over the cooled meringue. Start to roll from the long end fairly tightly until rolled up like a roulade. Wrap in non-stick baking parchment and chill before serving.

Leftover egg yolks should be stored in the fridge in a small container. Pour a tablespoon of cold water over the top, and then cover with clingfilm. Use within a week.
