Today is All Souls Day, a very solemn holy day (holy meaning "set apart").
Across the county at church services the names of the recent deceased (and some not so recent) will be read out.
A day for eating soul cakes - which are like hot cross buns but harder and flatter and made from oats. Very few bakers sell them so you will proabaly have to make your own. If you wanted a short-cut you could soak some Oatibix in milk then form them into round disks about an inch thick, mark them with a cross and cook for 30 mins. (eat hot or cold).
Update:
Ben Bradshaw is MP for Exeter. Educated at a grammar school. Formerly a reporter for the BBC's World At One.
