I made parkin ages ago when the kids were young but I can’t remember how I did it. It would have been an Aga recipe and people really liked it. I’ll see if I can find a recipe on line. It was sort of moist and a bit crunchy too fro oats I think. Pretty sure it’s has Yorkshire origins.
Edit: I remembered correctly. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1...rkshire-parkin

Morning all peepsicles! I said it wouldn't end well
Woke at six thinking someone had broken in.....on investigation, something has...and is in the ceiling between the floors! And it sounds big enough to be a small dog [although must be a rat or a squirrel]........I don't think it's been out into the cottage, no mess, no holes, no nothing.....
Large tea please and two weetabix and moo!

I shall be monitoring the situation closely.....and informing the landlady as soon as I know it wasn't a one off visit! I did thump the ceiling loudly where the feet were running and then it went totally quiet. So possibly they or it went outside again.....for now
Ta muchly!
