Hi everyone. My family and I are very new to the area and my daughter has just started at Queenspark School on a Monday. This is not actually a school related post, but as I'm not connected to any community groups yet, I thought I would try post on here ...
My short haired black cat Merlin escaped last night. We have only lived here a few days and never on this side of town so I am very worried he is lost somewhere and could be hiding in your garage or gardens.
He is a medium sized, very healthy looking boy with huge green eyes. He is completely black except for a tiny patch of white under his chin which can be hard to see if he's not lifting his head. He is super friendly and quite vocal with a very loud purr, but may be stand offish at first as he is cautious but not scared.
Unfortunately his new collar is sitting on the bench as we didn't put it on him yet, so he is not wearing one.
Please please please if you see a black cat, any black cat around Royal Park Drive / Chadlington street and surrounding areas, give me a call on 0220841341 and I will come and see if it's him.

I know a lot of people say this, but he's more than just a pet, he's my baby and best friend of 9 years and i'm terribly worried about him.
Thanks for your help, and please feel free to share this post if you know of any more suitable pages to post on.

Fantastic Feijoa Cake

Harcourts Holmwood Merivale - Cindy-Lee Sinclair

It’s that time of year again, when plastic bags of feijoas sit on kitchen tables overflowing with generosity from our family or neighbours who are lucky enough to have a feijoa tree in their garden. But what on earth do we do with them all?

Loved by Kiwis, these little green beauties can be used in cakes, muffins, ice cream, preserves, salsas and much more!

Here is a super easy recipe for the best feijoa cake, a perfect afternoon treat!

What you’ll need:
Cake
• 3 large feijoas, peeled and sliced
• ¾ cup of caster sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 125g of butter, softened
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• 1 ¾ cups of self-raising flour
• ¾ tsp of baking soda
• ¾ tsp of ground cinnamon
Filling
• 1 cup of cream
• 2 Tbsp of icing sugar, plus extra to dust the cake
• 2 large feijoas, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 180c. Lightly grease 23cm cake pan and line base with baking paper.
2) Place fejioas in food processor with caster sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Process until smooth and transfer to bowl.
3) Sift flour, baking soda and cinnamon in a seperate bowl. Fold into feijoa mixture, be careful not to over-mix.
4) Tip into prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
5) Cool for five minutes, then remove from pan and place on a wire rack. When cold, cut in half through the centre.
6) While cake is cooling, prepare the filling. Whip cream and icing sugar together until thick. Spread half on the base of the cake.
7) Top filling with thinly sliced feijoas and cover with the remaining cream filling. Finally, replace the top half of the cake and dust lightly with icing sugar.

I’d love to see your beautiful cakes creations, be sure to capture a photo before digging in!
