The most hard work is zesting the oranges and cleaning the food processor after grating the carrots - the actual cake bit is easy enough! I don't put dried fruit in mine, but chopped pecans instead. I do cream cheese frosting - and give it an orangey flavour, and the odd small orange flecks to reflect the carrot in the cake, by adding a large spoonful of St Dalfour marmalade which is a very soft set as it is low sugar.

Here the sea simply is - most roads to most places will take you beside it, or go high enough up that it is the biggest part of the view. And the beaches are the most popular dog-walking places - I even take Mum's long-haired chihuahua on the beach for a run sometimes.
