World crafts – some home-baking in New Zealand

Not strictly crafts, or country-specific, I thought I should still mention some baking I got up to in New Zealand. If any of you have spent time in a campervan (let alone six weeks!) you will know that meal times require some culinary creativity! It really felt like a treat when we stopped at a site with kitchen facilities, and every time, it was an opportunity to use an oven and bake a cake. (Banana bread is a great one for storing on the road).

On the North Island, we stayed for a week with friends. On our arrival, we were greeted with a lovely hand-made poster by three-year-old Joel. The poster stayed with us as our only campervan artwork for the following month, and was truly cherished! What a perfect, memorable gift (and pocket-friendly for the parents too!)

Joel also initiated an aeroplane loaf, after he misheard “plain bread” and got too excited to say no to!
