The River Warfe has raw sewage in it and will have until 2030 so the Water Board say And it looks so inviting,The further upstream the better if you want a paddle
A couple and a child put their tent up for the night on the Edge of The Cliffs near Staithes [it’s unclear whether that’s the top of the cliff or just below.’There have been many cliff falls near Runswick Bay and all along there It may not be in Yorkshire but it’s close
A house in Halifax blew up but nobody seems to be seriously injured Can it be gas?
The life boat crew are safely home They’ve brought the shipwrecked sailors too. The storm has passed, the wind has dropped The sea is swaying softly now.
Wrapped in soft night clothes, their offspring Are all in world of dream still lost. Their fathers’ safely home this time. They save wrecked ships despite the cost.
Will any lifeboat crew be there To help less blessed ones from despair, And lives, too many , spent in care No fathers and no mothers near?
The sea we certainly must fear, But more we fear the acts of those Who try to buy our minds and wills, For votes in the election booths.
Oh hush my baby, go to sleep, It is your mammy’s job to weep. I wish I knew just what to do To empower the lives of wains like you.
Sleep well, sleep well, my little child. The sun will rise, the air is mild. We’ll trust that when we all set sail Our love and courage will not fail.
Oh,hush my sweet one, I am near. The world’s too big for bairns to bear. We’ll do much better this time round. We’ll not let this boat run aground.
Another branch has fallen from the tree For nine short months, it weakened and grew dry. It fell to earth with utter gravity
Is comparing us to trees good simile? I’d find a better if I’d wits to try Another branch has fallen from the tree
The tree grieves not, for trees like to be free Their main desire is stature, to be high. Dead branches fall to earth by gravity
Some compare life to a drunken sea; Or to the sky where dance wild nuclei Yet our most holy symbol is the tree
The strong hang on in their tenacity Even as their leaves and berries fly Weaker branches fall with gravity
Death comes so much harder to the high This is no truth but neither do I lie Another branch has broken from the tree Thus disconnected , it is down and free
The moon fell down into the village pond Thus gravity was lost and mirth began The gravity of grief is deep, profound The moon fell down into the village pond Noone heard the silence or the sound As they floated out with their beer cans The moon fell down into the village pond Thus gravity was lost and mirth began
The spiteful moon glares through the clouds of night Unwanted by the men whose conscience aches They must long for dawn, for sun and light The shivering moon peers through the clouds of night With unintended force it hurts the eye Reminded those bereaved of their ill fate Demented now, the moon gawps through the night A loathsome sight to those whose conscience wakes
Since you died I learned to use a crutch I have noone to lean on, none to touch I wanted you to die with kindly ease Now I miss another I could tease
Noone knows what was our special tree Nor why the pain of loss dwells in my knee As if I cannot stand or wait alone Dark earth is softer than these paving stones
The trees you loved my neighbours see as weeds I shan’t recite a list of their misdeeds Others gossip of my coloured coats A widow’s weeds aren’t teal, they grin, they gloat
Before you went I saw the cloth of gold Coming down from heaven to enfold Then it rose, its satin thick and pure Taking you away, yet life endures
The emptiness, the void, the loss, the pain The crash severe we know is foreordained
The sky is stark, the air is cool and still The black cat’s run, the birds unfold all day I sit down here and with my totty pray Ye cast o’ foolish thoughts, you raped my will We’ve each enraged the bureaucratic mill. Oh frigid purse, I never meant to pay! The sky ‘s a-spark, the air is warm and shrill The saturnine demoted knelled their way With this feathered pounce, my sample quill, I cite the cheque and date it for next May. Oh, tit for cat, the tiger’s bed ‘s astray. Yer life is settled by a harlot’s will The sky ‘s a shark, the air is sharper still.
I knew the nearby pavement as if it were a face The lines and cracks and puddles where holes sucked in the rain The gutter where the marbles rolled,the grids like iron lace I knew the nearby pavement as if it were a face As if it had a consciousness,a heart to be embraced It must have had some kind of mind,though never had a brain I knew the nearby pavement as if it were my face The lines and cracks and puddles where holes were filled with rain
We walked in rhythm as if life were our dance Holding hands, we smiled whilst on our way Exchanging too a soft and loving glance We walked in rhythm as if love were a dance Showing both the strength and the nuance I wish my love were still with me at play We walked in rhythm, our life a home made dance Holding hands, we smiled whilst on our wa
When we’re feeling sad we need to dance Every place once had its form and tune In Ireland self taught fiddlers could entrance As merry people danced under the moon Now we watch the dancing on TV We’re still as statues tossed onto settees But watching others dance can never be A way to change our mood as rolls the sea
Infantile and placid with our lot We have cables,aerials and Sky Could the supernatural begat Creative hearts in those who careless lie? Just the music of the dance uplifts The hearts that beat with love tranquil yet swift
A sightless man on the cliff could smell the scents As his daughter spoke the flowers names He seemed happy, more than just content A blind man in the garden sniffed the scents We drank our tea with joy at careful chant The sea was dancing, in and out it came A sightless man near the cliff enjoyed the scents His daughter told to all the flowers names
Without you, I feel the emptiness The future seems a gaping void Without you,I feel the loneliness Without you, I feel the emptiness My heart still feel essential homelessness I ache for my lost life destroyed Without you, I feel the emptiness The future seems an endless void

In this list, you’ll find common baking pan measurements and the volume of batter they hold. ***The amount listed is the total amount of batter each pan holds, but you usually only fill cake pans halfway (unless otherwise noted in the recipe you are using). Most measurements were taken at my home kitchen. Cross referenced with the always trusted Joy of Baking, as well.
Jelly Roll Pans – 1 inch (2.5 cm) tall 10×15 inches (27 x 39 cm) = 10 cups (2.4 liters) 12×17 inches (32 x 44 cm) = 12 cups (2.8 liters)
Loaf Pans – about 3 inches (8 cm) tall 8×4 inch (20 x 10 cm) = 4 cups (960 ml) 9×5 inch (23 x 13 cm) = 8 cups (1.9 liters)
How to Determine the Volume Yourself
If you want to calculate a pan’s volume yourself, it’s so easy! Simply fill your pan with 1 cup of water at a time and count until it’s full. That’s what I do!
How Much Does This Pan Hold?
Here’s a helpful list of the most common baking pans and the volume of batter they hold, as well as which pans hold the same amount of batter. ***Keep in mind that the volumes listed mean you are filling the pan all the way to the top with batter, which isn’t ideal for baked goods. Unless otherwise noted, filling pans around 2/3 full is the best practice. This leaves room for rising.
For example, my vanilla cake recipe yields around 8 cups of batter which I divide between 3 9×2 inch round cake pans. (Each hold 8 cups of batter!) Each cake layer has a little less than 3 cups batter each.
Use the following section to determine which baking pans can be substituted for others based on their full volume.
Round Pans
6×2 inch round pan holds 4 cups of batter, the same as an 8×4 inch loaf pan. Fun discovery! Cupcake recipes yielding 12-16 cupcakes fit wonderfully in 3 6-inch cake pans. See my 6 inch cakes for more information.
8×2 inch round pan holds 6 cups of batter.
9×2 inch round pan holds 8 cups of batter, the same as an 8×2 inch square pan and a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
10×2 inch round pan holds 10-11 cups of batter, the same as a 9×2 inch square pan, 11×7 inch pan, 10×15 inch jelly roll pan, 10×3 inch bundt pan, and a 9×2.5 inch springform pan.
Square Pans
8×2 inch square pan holds 8 cups of batter, the same as a 9×2 inch round pan and a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
9×2 inch square pan holds 10 cups of batter, the same as a 10×2 inch round pan, 11×7 inch pan, 9×2.5 inch springform pan, 10×3 inch bundt pan, and a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.
10×2 inch square pan holds 12 cups of batter, the same as a 12×17 inch jelly roll pan, 10×3 inch bundt pan, 10×2.5 inch springform pan, and a 9-inch tube pan.
Rectangle Pans
11×7 inch pan holds 10 cups of batter, the same as a 10×2 inch round pan, 9×2-inch square pan, 9×2.5 inch springform pan, 10×3 inch bundt pan, and a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.
9×13 inch pan holds 14-16 cups of batter, essentially the same as 2 9×2-inch round pans.
We are in this boat together Sailing across the bay. Some have an easy voyage, The wind is blowing their way I wish I could always be sailing Across an ocean with you And never reach the other side though it may be in view. I want to see the sunrise Across the dappled sea. The ripples of the water Reveal a new world to me. One day this boat will reach the shore Unless destroyed by storm And I shall have to leave your arms Where I have been so warm. So just before we get there I wanted you to know That I shall always love you Wherever you may go.
