Time Is the Most Precious Currency of all. Once it's gone, it's gone. Mindfulness teaches us the knowledge of scarcity. That there is No reserve tank. Being mindful of time passing is our most valuable tool. To achieve our dreams, we may need a good kick in the backside to make that mindfulness of time work for us. It's about being actively aware and mindful of time passing. And also, being worried enough by it to begin working toward our dreams.

Add the vanilla extract at this stage. Don't be foolhardy but do be generous with the vanilla extract. Next day, pre-heat oven to 170C (340 Fahrenheit). Add all the remaining ingredients to the fruit, sugar, mixed spice mix and stir thoroughly, ensuring all flour incorporated. Line two 1lb bread tins (or maybe 1 2lb bread tin) with greaseproof or baking parchment. spoon the Bara Brith mixture into the tin(s) and bake in the oven for an hour and a half. Allow to cool and serve with salted butter. Pure genius keep it simple. Enjoy.
