Apricot and Lavender Cake

Just to add to the last post (hey it's remembrance sunday so I can use that phrase), I forgot to mention we went to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford on Saturday, the day of the party with the cod and samphire buffet etc, and although we had not much time to look round (about fifteen minutes actually) we did have time to try the cafe in the basement where I discovered a rather delicious cake, an apricot and lavender cake, which was a nice dense puddingy cake, the lavender probably not a very prominent flavour but there were pretty scattering of purple flowerets on it, but it was very nice. My partner had a lemon drizzle cake. Mind you, perhaps it was the lavender cake the caused the tummy upset.
