G'day Mimsie.... from Sydney!!! I land...Hari OM<br />G'day Mimsie.... from Sydney!!! I landed last Friday evening and am down under for 7 weeks. Needed to sort out some personal matters and also to meet all my darling 'ozfamily'... often the family we build for ourselves is closer than the one to which we are born - though it has to be said that my Scottish birth family and I are close also! (How's that for some everyday chat? &*>)<br /><br />I have found little changed here at 'home' in the past two years apart from two things; an incredible amount of hi-rise building going on (vis-a-vis your reference to R'ham... I am surprised the old pub is not already heritage listed!); and the cost of living. I nearly died at the price I paid for some fruit and veg yesterday!!!<br /><br />Disappointed with the weather so far. I left cold and damp Scotland to come to ... cold and damp. Yesterday there was high 20's temps and sunshine, but that has been it so far. Can't believe I had to wear full jammies and socks to bed and a jumper in the day. Hey ho. <br /><br />There was Aeroplane Jelly in my childhood in UK - though I never was a fan and nowadays won't touch due to vegetarian status - but I don't think I knew it was an Aussie origin product. Loved reading that history! <br /><br />Huggies to Candy from me - she clearly was overjoyed that her folks could be outside with her &*> YAM xxYamini MacLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383916589808462620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-27383193976365800302015-11-10T17:14:16.491+08:002015-11-10T17:14:16.491+08:00I remember Aeroplane jelly too.

I...So nice to learn the history of Aeroplane jelly. I remember jelly being a special treat when I was little, yet other kids had it almost every day. I was so jealous. <br />The last time I went to a Sizzler restaurant was quite some time ago. We were meeting other family members and knew the restaurant was down the road a bit, so decided to walk. Well, it was quite a bit further than we thought, by the time we got there we were hot and sweaty and tired, not at all in the mood for socialising, but we cooled down and calmed down, so the evening turned out well.<br />Sorry to hear you have European wasps over there, and sorry to hear more hot weather is on the way. Our October was the hottest on record for SA.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
