That's lovely. I have acquired these through the family somewhere and I understand they are Whitby jet mourning necklaces. I see them on photos quite often too.

I use this recipe from an old Cranks book and its fairly foolproof for me. I substitute golden syrup for treacle and I add a drop or two of vanilla essence before the oats. Sometimes if the mix is too wet it sets hard - try missing out some of the oats - say 25g - and substituting oat meal.

On this day in 1918 my great uncle, Private Edgar Wood, was killed at Villers-Outreaux near Cambrai while fighting with the Welsh Regiment. He was 20 years old. He is buried in the tiny cemetery of Moulin-de-Pierre with 47 others who died that day.
