Steamed puddings are bloody beaut on a cold wet night.

BTW

Blue and Yellow is Clive Rugby & Sports colours

God how we used to eat...Wet days at a hut were devoted to bread and pudding making and stuffing ourselves. Then we would be off flycamping somewhere for as long as the fine weather lasted then back in again to the hut as lean as hungry dogs.

We used to be supplied with powdered full cream milk in a blue tin. It was great stuff, we would mix icing sugar with it and beat it and it came up like whipped cream. We used to have it with all our puddings.

I dont know what they did to the powdered milk then but that stuff we got after that in green tins was just crap.

I bet that is where our pudding sock came from alright 'pete' Its a Shitty colour but Clive is not that far from Ruahine Corner.
