Chance meeting<br />
leads to 60 years<br />
of marriage<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
A COUPLE who celebrated their<br />
diamond wedding anniversary on<br />
<strong>September</strong> 20, recall vividly the<br />
moment they first met.<br />
John Jackson (then 18) was driving<br />
his ’34 Chevy Junior coupe sedately<br />
along Cashel St one April evening in<br />
1959, when he caught sight of a young<br />
girl running towards him, her face<br />
streaked with tears.<br />
Sue Cann (then 16) had just broken<br />
up with a boyfriend and was running<br />
away from him when John spotted her.<br />
“She looked upset and cute so I<br />
quickly pulled over and asked if I<br />
could help her.<br />

New life for hard-to-recycle items<br />
RICHMOND AND Shirley<br />
residents have a new communitybased<br />
recycling collection<br />
point for those hard-to-place<br />
household items.<br />
The Richmond Community<br />
Garden worked with the<br />
Avebury House Men’s Shed<br />
group to build and install a new<br />
recycling collection receptacle<br />
at 46a Vogel St – the Riverlution<br />
Eco Hub collection station.<br />
It caters to five distinctive<br />
recycling streams: 1. Wine bottle<br />
caps and can tabs; 2. Glad Wrap;<br />
3. Razors, blades and packaging;<br />
4. Toothpaste tubes and caps,<br />
floss containers, toothbrushes,<br />
mouthwash bottles; and 5. Plastic<br />
bottle tops.<br />
Garden sustainability event<br />
co-ordinator Morgane Honore-<br />
Forde said they had picked<br />
those five particular streams<br />
because they cannot be recycled<br />
in Christchurch at present,<br />
and are usually considered<br />
general waste.<br />
“EcoCentral does not accept<br />
any bottle tops due to the fact<br />
that it will damage their sorting<br />
conveyor belt, and razors, oral<br />
care products and bottle tops<br />
usually ends up in landfill.”<br />
She said the five streams will<br />
be recycled by a number of<br />
organisations and commercial<br />
operations.<br />
The wine bottle tops are going<br />
to the Christchurch Kidney<br />
Society for them to raise funds<br />
for its child and youth support<br />
program.<br />
“The plastic bottle tops will be<br />
shredded and turned into a new<br />
product at the Eco Hub,” she<br />
said.<br />
TerraCycle and Gillette<br />
partnered to create a recycling<br />
programme for any brand<br />
of used razors, blades and<br />
packaging.<br />
TerraCycle and Glad have<br />
also created the free Glad Food<br />
Storage Recycling Programme<br />
for Glad and all other brands of<br />
cling wrap, food storage bags,<br />
and food storage containers.<br />
Colgate has partnered with<br />
TerraCycle to help provide a second<br />
life for toothbrushes, toothpaste<br />
tubes, toothpaste caps, floss<br />
containers and their plastic outer<br />

packaging materials.<br />
Once collected, the TerraCycle<br />
process cleans all the plastics and<br />
then melts them into hard plastic<br />
blocks, which can be remoulded<br />
to make new recycled products.<br />
Honore-Forde praised the<br />
work undertaken by the Men’s<br />
Shed crew, for producing the<br />
receptacle station.<br />
Everyone can access the<br />
Riverlution Eco Hub collection<br />
station to drop off items.<br />
In Brief<br />
LINWOOD POOL OPENS<br />
TOMORROW<br />
The much-anticipated $22 million<br />
Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood pool will<br />
open tomorrow. Due to Covid<br />
level 2 restrictions, the opening<br />
will be strictly limited to 100<br />
invited people, and access to the<br />
pool will be restricted to only 48<br />
people at a time. The ‘Have a go’<br />
activities and ‘Party in the park’<br />

GARDENERS URGED TO<br />
GEAR UP<br />
City gardeners are encouraged<br />
to ‘gear up’ to protect themselves<br />
against legionnaires’ disease as<br />
they get stuck into their spring<br />
gardens. Canterbury Medical<br />
Officer of Health Dr Ramon Pink<br />
said legionnaires’ disease, caused<br />
by legionella bacteria, can start<br />
with flu-like symptoms. This<br />
year’s campaign highlights the<br />
importance of using the right<br />
gear when gardening, particularly<br />
when handling compost and<br />
potting mix.<br />
UPGRADES ON TRACK<br />

Communication key to longevity<br />
• From page 1<br />
“She settled down and eventually<br />
told me that I could take<br />
her back to the nurses’ hostel at<br />
Burwood Hospital where she was<br />
studying to be a nurse,” he said.<br />
Sue recalled it was a really<br />
weird situation: “I was running<br />
away from the other guy, I was<br />
crying, but when I saw John and<br />
he stopped to help me, I somehow<br />
knew then that this would<br />
be the man I wanted to marry.”<br />
Over the next 18 months, the<br />
star-struck couple spent every<br />
moment they could together,<br />
even when it meant sneaking Sue<br />
out a side window of the nurses’<br />
hostel some nights after curfew.<br />
“Matron caught me once and<br />
she took me into a room and gave<br />
me a one and a half-hour-long<br />
lecture,” said John.<br />
Sue said: “He didn’t know then<br />
that she was my guardian, my<br />
parents had left me in Christchurch<br />
when they returned to<br />
England, so she was all I had.”<br />
Love blossomed and on <strong>September</strong><br />
20, 1961, the pair walked<br />
down the aisle at the St Faith’s<br />
Church in New Brighton.<br />
“It was a lovely warm day and<br />
a friend stepped in to give me<br />
away,” Sue said.<br />
However, John remembers that<br />
she was over a <strong>30</strong>min late because<br />
the wedding car had broken<br />
down at her house.<br />
Sue was born in Bombay<br />
(Mumbai) and spent the next<br />
decade travelling with her family<br />
to England and Southern Rhodesia<br />
(Zimbabwe) before finally<br />
arriving by ship in New Zealand.<br />
“Mum died giving birth to my<br />
younger sister in India and dad<br />
then married her cousin.<br />
“He worked for an asbestos<br />
company until we came here,<br />
he got a job on the railways<br />
BIG DAY:<br />
John Jackson<br />
and Sue<br />
Cann were<br />
married on<br />
<strong>September</strong><br />
20, 1961, at<br />
St Faith’s<br />
Church, New<br />
Brighton.<br />
and later at James Fletchers in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
“But when I was just 16 the<br />
whole family went back to Devon<br />
and I stayed here on my own to<br />
train as a nurse.”<br />
John was born in Sydenham,<br />
went with his family firstly to<br />
Tekapo, before finally settling in<br />
New Brighton.<br />
“I’m a Brighton boy,” he said, “I<br />
was an apprentice cabinet maker<br />
machinist when we met and I<br />
stayed in that trade for most of<br />
my life.”<br />
“We just clicked, although she<br />
broke the door and window on<br />
my car on our first official date,”<br />
he said.<br />
The couple settled in New<br />
Brighton and raised three<br />
children – two boys, John<br />
and Michael, and a daughter<br />
Christine.<br />
When the children were older<br />
the family took charge of the Anglican<br />
Church Children’s Home<br />
at St Albans in 1974.<br />
It already had seven children<br />
from two broken families living<br />
in separate parts of the house.<br />
Sue was house mother and<br />
John worked as the house security<br />
officer.<br />
“We decided there and then<br />
that there wouldn’t be any separation<br />
in the families, so<br />
we joined the three families<br />
together, had our meals together,<br />
the kids played together and we<br />
even went to a Cilla Black concert<br />
together.<br />
“She came up to us during<br />
the concert and made the whole<br />
family stand up – it was a great<br />
sight as we took up a whole row<br />
in the town hall, we were one big<br />
family.”<br />
Over the next five years, the<br />
couple also looked after many<br />
short-term stay children.<br />
This started a long association<br />
with child care and volunteering<br />
by the couple.<br />
Five years later the couple<br />
brought a large double-storey<br />
house in New Brighton and three<br />
of the care children joined them<br />
there.<br />
“We still stay in touch with<br />
them and we are called Poppy<br />
and Grandy by their children,”<br />
Sue said.<br />
While John returned to<br />
cabinet making Sue eventually<br />
worked for 25 years at the<br />
Donaldson Residential Trust<br />
home for the intellectually<br />
handicapped.<br />
But that wasn’t the end of<br />
the couple’s work for both have<br />
received commendations from<br />
care groups and the police for<br />
their long years of work with<br />
Victim Support, Pregnancy<br />
Help, Community Watch and<br />
others.<br />
Sixty years after that side of the<br />
road meeting the couple agreed<br />
that the secret to wedding peace<br />
has been communication and<br />
trust.<br />
John said he never goes to bed<br />
without saying he loved Sue:<br />
“Even if we’ve had a row, I still<br />
say it every night.”<br />
“I can’t stay mad at him when<br />
he says that, I still love him to<br />
bits,” Sue said.<br />
Holy moly look at our<br />
power bill this month<br />
A spike in the cost of your power bill can<br />
be more than just a wee shock. It’s one<br />
tell tale sign that your heat pump may<br />
not be working at peak efficiency. And<br />
while heat pumps are a cost effective<br />
form of heating and it may seem to be<br />
running normally, one of the biggest<br />
signs it isn’t will be in your power bill.<br />
And this is why:<br />
If your heat pump is overworking, its<br />
diminished heating capacity will raise<br />
energy use as your pump struggles<br />
to maintain the desired room temperature. The reason could be a number<br />
of things; blocked filters and / or coils, a compromised compressor or a<br />
refrigerant leak. Like any appliance, regular maintenance of your heat pump<br />
will mean it will run more efficiently and save you money. All of these things<br />
will be assessed in a regular service by our trained technicians.<br />
Photo credit to Fazakerley Patterson Photography<br />
The power is all yours and the best thing you can do to extend the life and<br />
efficiency of your heat pump is to have it professionally serviced at least<br />
once a year. Our technicians do a comprehensive examination of your whole<br />
system, carry out a routine maintenance service and advise you if anything<br />
might need further repair.<br />

Races test dogs and owners<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
MAN AND beast were running<br />
together at the third annual<br />
4Paws Marathon series of races<br />
held on Sunday at Bottle Lake.<br />
Observing Covid alert level 2<br />
spacing rules, competitors and<br />
their dogs from all over the city<br />
and the South Island lined up<br />
for the start of various events<br />
which included a marathon,<br />
half marathon, 16km, 10 km,<br />
5km and a 2.4km walk/runs<br />
on tracks through Bottle Lake<br />
Forest and out on nearby<br />
beaches.<br />
At each race, organisers<br />
started lines of competitors at<br />
ten second intervals to space<br />
them apart and conducted<br />
mandatory vet checks at various<br />
distances along the tracks,<br />
which for some went almost as<br />
far as the Brighton Pier.<br />
4Paws event organiser and<br />
race director John Molloy said it<br />
was “a massive but fulfilling day.<br />
“In all we were very impressed<br />
with how people respected<br />
the events Covid rules with<br />
responsible mask usage in what<br />
is a very social event (about 100<br />
participants).”<br />
He said dogs bring the best out<br />
of people and for the third year<br />
in a row there were no dog (or<br />
human) altercations.<br />
“The smiles on everyone’s face<br />

inspires us to keep hosting this<br />
event. The event is about participation<br />
and not winning so the<br />
winners get no winning prizes<br />
as such.<br />
“But in due time they will<br />
realise they have won the best<br />
prize of all – sharing the experience<br />
of finishing a marathon<br />
together with their best friend,”<br />
Molloy said.<br />
He said it a priceless memory<br />
they will forever cherish and he<br />
was unaware of any event in the<br />
world that offers this experience<br />
with regards to package of race<br />
distances and a full marathon<br />
distance.<br />

of Rangiora won the men’s marathon<br />
in a time of 3hr 46min<br />

How we aspire to meet our students<br />
A “culturally responsive pedagogy” is a term that<br />
many outside of the education sector may have heard<br />
from time to time but have little grasp of. Such is the<br />
way of many government departments with their<br />
reliance on such jargon and assertions to stay the<br />
course. What this means for us at Linwood College<br />
at Ōtākaro is an endeavour to deliver an accessible<br />
practice of our teaching and learning that values an<br />
individual’s culture. It is a genuine attempt of our<br />
educators to recognise, celebrate and utilise every<br />
ākonga for their unique and meaningful identity and<br />
background. We recognise as educators our tried<br />
and true purpose is to advance academic progress<br />
but we also aspire to ensure all our students feel their<br />
cultural identity is strong, secure and fundamentally<br />
valued along the way. Using this practice ensures<br />
we are bicultural and upholding the principles of the<br />
Treaty of Waitangi for both parties, and when we<br />
succeed it benefits every student. For all ākonga, we<br />
must work to ensure they all feel they belong within<br />
the learning environment we provide and a sound,<br />
clear kaupapa is shared with the community that<br />
is focused on the potential of ‘all’ learners to thrive<br />
without compromising who they are.<br />
Students attending Tausala Night<br />
So what does this look, sound and feel like in<br />
our learning community? In the classroom, it is<br />
expressed through wānanga – decision-making and<br />
learning practices that are responsive to a range of<br />
relevant contexts. It maintains, advances, and shares<br />
knowledge and develops intellectual independence,<br />
while assisting the use of knowledge regarding<br />
ahuatanga Māori (Māori tradition) according to<br />
tikanga Māori (Māori custom). This can be found in<br />
our science classes where Y10 students learn about<br />
genetics and how a cancer threat helped singer<br />
Stan Walker identify how the mutated CDH1 gene<br />
was expressed in his whakapapa. It can be seen<br />
and heard in the karakia recited at the beginning<br />
of Tāhuhu classes. It can be found in the cultural<br />
narrative names gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri for the<br />
rebuild: Te Aratai college.<br />
Siva Somoa performed at our Festival of Nations<br />
Our commitment to cultural responsiveness is also<br />
addressed in our practice of ako and mahi ngātahi,<br />
a philosophy of not only sharing the content, context<br />
and responsibility of teaching and learning between<br />
student and teacher but also in the wider community<br />
with ongoing kōrero and consultation with whānau.<br />
Perhaps the best example of this is our Wā Whakanui<br />
conferencing we hold twice every year. These<br />
conferences replace the traditional parent-teacher<br />
interviews where whānau are given 10 minutes<br />
intervals to digest a student’s progress by individual<br />
teachers. Instead, Wā Whakanui is a presentation<br />
delivered by our students to their whānau, sharing<br />
and speaking to 3 pieces of their best work. These<br />
are empowering, inspiring presentations where the<br />
self-determination and success of our ākonga is<br />
evident for their loved ones.<br />
Our commitment to strong community bonds is<br />

Pasifika Students and Polyfest group perform for<br />
their family, friends and kaiārahi, and Te Roopu<br />
Kapa Haka o Kimihia, the school’s kapa haka group.<br />
This group is a combination of 5 kura from around<br />
a new chapter<br />
Students taking part in the He Puna Putaiao<br />
programme<br />
Christchurch including: Christchurch Girls High<br />
School, Christchurch Boys High School, Cashmere<br />
High School and Haeata Community Campus.<br />
The success from these competitions is more than<br />
placing on the day, it includes creating a sense of<br />
whanaungatanga, personal success and a sense<br />
of belonging and identity within the kaihaka for all<br />
ākonga to be proud of who they are and their cultural<br />
identities.<br />
A school is not an isolated silo where we prepare<br />
our students for the ‘real world’ outside. A school is<br />
part of that real world, where the experiences and<br />
expressions are as real and lived as anything that<br />
flows in, through and beyond it. This is why we believe<br />
that a successful kura, a school that delivers success<br />
for its taonga, is engaged with the communities,<br />
histories and identities of all that come to tread life<br />
and experience into its hallowed halls.<br />

Grant allows sewing group to expand<br />
A RECENT funding boost has<br />
helped a community-based<br />
Brighton sewing group expand<br />
their services.<br />
Following a $4000 grant from<br />
the Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board strengthening<br />
communities fund, Stitch-O-Mat<br />
New Brighton, a Brighton group<br />
dedicated to helping people<br />
sew, can expand and offer more<br />
services.<br />
The group, based in the Surfside<br />
Mall, provides a learning<br />
space, equipment and fabric<br />
for people in the community to<br />
create their own projects, repair<br />
or mend items, or learn to sew<br />
with a facilitator on hand to give<br />
support.<br />
Currently they have been<br />
operating three days a week<br />
from 10am to 2pm, plus Tuesday<br />
evenings and every other<br />
Sunday but with the new funding<br />
it means they can also run<br />
workshops for novice sewers on<br />
Saturdays.<br />
Manager Samantha Fay said<br />
they are entirely reliant on funding<br />
grants like Strengthening<br />
Communities.<br />
“We try to run as cheaply as<br />
possible so that we can make our<br />
services accessible to people who<br />
wouldn’t normally be able to access<br />
sewing lessons.”<br />
She said interest in sewing has<br />
skyrocketed over the past couple<br />
of years and she estimates Stitch-<br />
O-Mat has 60 people coming<br />
through the doors each week.<br />
“Since we moved to our new<br />
site in the mall we are so much<br />
more visible and many more<br />
people are coming up everyday<br />
to ask for our help.”<br />
She puts this down to a resurgence<br />
of interest in traditional<br />
skills like sewing, weaving and<br />
breadmaking.<br />
“People are looking at ways<br />
to slow down and be more conscious<br />
in their choices. Fashion is<br />
the second biggest polluter in the<br />
world after petrochemicals.<br />
“That’s why a big push for us<br />
is waste reduction. Last year we<br />
were able to divert one and a<br />

for their own projects with us.”<br />
Curtain producers, retailers<br />
and fabric shops are the primary<br />
source of textiles for the group,<br />
which also received a $6000 city<br />
council waste minimisation fund<br />
grant last week.<br />
Recent projects with a waste<br />
reduction focus include making<br />
produce bags for a vegetable<br />
co-op, beeswax wraps and face<br />
masks.<br />
Stitch-O-Mat also supports<br />
groups in the community with<br />
their projects, such as a recent<br />
working bee with Shirley Boys’<br />
High School to hand sew their<br />
kapa haka uniforms.<br />

Weekly bike rides paramount for Hunter<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
HUNTER ABEL, 16, known as<br />
a 2m three-year-old with SATB2<br />
syndrome, has always loved<br />
riding bikes at Sumner.<br />
Hunter and his mother Angela<br />
Abel travel there from their<br />
home in Cashmere every Sunday,<br />
where Hunter rides his adultsized<br />
trike along the esplanade<br />
and along the beach.<br />
After speedy e-bike riders<br />
were causing some trouble for<br />
Hunter along the esplanade, Abel<br />
decided to use social media to<br />
introduce Hunter to the Sumner<br />
community, posting on the local<br />
community group page.<br />
“When you put yourself out<br />
there, being vulnerable and kind,<br />
it’s scary, but people reacted so<br />
much better than I could have<br />
hoped.”<br />
“People have started to say<br />
hello to Hunter, and I feel bad<br />
for not knowing their name. It’s<br />
amazing the difference a wave<br />
and smile can make.”<br />
Abel said the interactions are<br />
great for Hunter as he can use his<br />
iPad to say hello back, or let the<br />
passer-by know the name of his<br />
assistance dog, Cooper.<br />
The fresh air, sensory inputs,<br />
and endorphins from the exercise<br />
have a positive impact on<br />
Hunter.<br />
Abel and Hunter look<br />
forward to a coffee and scone at<br />
Scarborough Fare Cafe.<br />
During the recent lockdown,<br />
they visited Sumner every day,<br />
with a special note from police<br />
allowing them to continue<br />
Hunter’s routine.<br />
With the cafe shut, Abel<br />
brought along homemade baking<br />
and a milkshake for Hunter,<br />
“who didn’t even realise anything<br />
was different.”<br />
Hunter was only diagnosed<br />
with SATB2 at the beginning of<br />
this year.<br />
SATB2 is a rare gene deletion<br />
disorder, which only 450<br />
individuals have been diagnosed<br />
with globally.<br />
As a result, Hunter is nonverbal,<br />
has low muscle mass<br />
paired with a tall height, and has<br />
SMILES: Hunter, his mother Angela Abel and assistance<br />
dog Cooper, visit Sumner every week to make the most of<br />
the esplanade and beach, a perfect spot for Hunter to ride<br />
his trike.<br />
cognitive difficulties.<br />
“Genetics are like the Great<br />
Wall of China with millions of<br />
bricks making up our composition.<br />
Hunter has a few bricks<br />
missing,” said Abel.<br />
Although it was a seemingly<br />
perfect birth, at four weeks old,<br />
Abel suspected something was<br />
wrong.<br />
“He was always looking<br />
straight through me or was<br />
staring at the ceiling,” she said.<br />
The family took Hunter to<br />
hospital where he underwent a<br />
multitude of different tests but<br />
the medical staff returned with<br />
empty answers.<br />
“It was so scary,” said Abel.<br />
Abel said she does not want<br />
to sugarcoat how hard raising<br />
Hunter has been.<br />
“I had terrible depression<br />
for years and I still throw<br />
wobblies all the time,” said<br />
Abel.<br />
“But I wouldn’t change it for<br />
the world. Having a disabled<br />
child is like having a superpower.<br />
You have so much empathy for<br />
the world around you.”<br />
Abel worked as a project manager<br />
and had this idea of “fixing<br />
Hunter,” always known at work<br />
as the “problem-solver.”<br />
“I Googled and read and practised<br />
everything that could help<br />
Hunter,” she said.<br />
Throughout this journey, Abel<br />
recognised the importance of<br />
nurturing her own well-being.<br />
“If I’m in a good space, everything<br />
else is better,” she said.<br />
“I wish someone could have<br />
told me about the importance of<br />
self-care earlier, it’s the best advice,<br />
especially for new mothers.”<br />
As a result, Abel dived into<br />
cold water swimming last year at<br />
Sumner beach.<br />
“My mornings can include<br />
wiping poo off walls and cleaning<br />
Weet-bix off myself. I walk<br />
out of the door with all these<br />
negative thoughts on the messy<br />
whiteboard of my mind,” said<br />
Abel.<br />
“Then, although, it can be<br />
excruciatingly cold, dunking my<br />
head under cold water triggers<br />
me into different thought processes.<br />
The whiteboard is cleared<br />
and I can write back on it in a<br />
much calmer way.”<br />

Mouth-watering traditional puddings<br />
There’s nothing<br />
quite like a hearty<br />
pudding to go with<br />
the evening meal.<br />
Try these two fruit<br />
puddings before<br />
warm summer<br />
weather calls for cold<br />
desserts<br />
Fruit pudding<br />
Serves 8<br />
Ingredients<br />
600gm dried fruit, place in<br />
largest casserole dish with<br />
¼ cup sherry<br />
125gm butter, melt, then add<br />
Finely grated rind of 1 large<br />
orange<br />
1 egg, beaten with a fork<br />
2 cups flour sifted with one<br />
teaspoon baking soda, one<br />
teaspoon mixed spice and one<br />
teaspoon ground cloves<br />
½ cup brown sugar<br />
Directions<br />
Select a heatproof bowl (or loaf<br />
tin) which will hold five cups and<br />
will fit into crockpot.<br />
Grease the bowl/tin with butter,<br />
then line with microwave-proof<br />
cling film.<br />
Microwave fruit/sherry for five<br />
minutes or until all the fruit is<br />
hot, plump and shiny. The<br />
liquid will soak into the fruit as it<br />
cools.<br />
Cool the fruit mixture to room<br />
temperature before using it.<br />
Turn the crockpot onto high<br />
and fill with two cups hot water.<br />
Add brown sugar to the flour/<br />
baking soda/mixed spice/ground<br />
cloves, then tip butter/orange<br />
rind/egg into dry ingredients and<br />
mix well.<br />
Add the fruit mixture and mix<br />
gently, but thoroughly.<br />
Spoon mixture into prepared<br />
bowl/tin and level off the top.<br />
Cover with tin foil, folding the<br />
edges down over the bowl.<br />
Lower the bowl/tin into the<br />
crockpot and put the lid on.<br />
Cook on high to eight to 12<br />
hours.<br />
Take out while still warm as it<br />
will be less likely to stick to the<br />
container at this stage, then wrap<br />
and cool completely.<br />
Serve with brandy sauce,<br />
custard and/or whipped cream.<br />
Caramel sticky date<br />
pudding<br />
Serves 8<br />
Ingredients<br />
RICH:<br />
Dried fruit<br />
is a sweet<br />
ingredient<br />
to use in a<br />
pudding and<br />
the taste is<br />
divine.<br />
1 cup water, place in largest<br />
casserole dish with<br />
400gm pitted dates, chopped<br />
roughly<br />
150gm butter<br />
2 tablespoons golden syrup<br />
2 tablespoons sugar<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 cup plain flour, sifted with two<br />
teaspoons cinnamon<br />
2 eggs, lightly beaten<br />
Directions<br />
Microwave water/dates/butter/<br />
golden syrup/sugar for 5min, stir,<br />
zap for another 5min, stir (liquid<br />
needs to have reduced right<br />
down, leaving dates just moist).<br />
Remove from microwave and<br />
leave to cool for 15min, while still<br />
warm add baking soda to the date<br />
mixture and stir to combine, then<br />
add flour/cinnamon and the eggs,<br />
stirring until everything is evenly<br />
combined.<br />
Pour into small springform pan<br />
that has been well greased and<br />
lined with baking paper, and bake<br />
at 180 deg C for 50min.<br />
While it is baking, make<br />
caramel sauce, as follows:<br />
½ cup brown sugar, place in<br />
largest casserole dish with<br />
½ cup golden syrup<br />
50gm butter<br />
1 cup cream<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla essence<br />
Microwave for a minute at a<br />
time until all the ingredients have<br />
dissolved, stirring in-between.<br />
Keep heating and stirring until<br />
sauce turns a golden caramel<br />
colour. Pour over the pudding.<br />
Serve with ice cream.<br />
