I have made our cake for tea in the garden on VE day. It’s supposed to be Sir Winston Churchill’s favourite fruit cake. To find the recipe you just have to Google “Winston Churchill’s favourite fruit cake” and dozens of similar recipes pop up.

It seemed to be appropriate to have this on VE Day because the “Churchill” is the center of our renal universe and I am forever grateful for the successful transplant I had at the Churchill in August 2011.

Happy VE Day everyone.
