Then got there and OOooooohhhh cookies!

Ahaaa that makes things much clearer thank-you Jo...softer, lighter, savoury scones, I am interested to try one of those wee beasties.
A woman after my own heart, nothing, absolutely nothing beats Salt and Vinegar, The King of Crisps ('cept maybe Seabrooks Wasabi flavour)
I've never had Lamingtons but I've heard much about them from Aussie mates. How come you were in Aus?

Hello to Incubus....I have missed a few days in the kitchen, but did you know the Queen was visiting Canada right now? Yes, we had our birthday yesterday, # 143, and some great festivals in each city and the big one on Parliament Hill.
I'm prepping an album with the events from the day - our red & white in all its glory.
And, this weekend we celebrate Pride # 30.
What a way to bring in the month, party party party!
Have a good day everyone.
Happy end of week!
ps i have some red & white jelly beans leftover from yesterday, so I will leave them on the kitchen counter. Enjoy!!!

Hola freya, I had heard that Lizzie and Phil were making a visit to your shores, inbetween news of the World Cup and Wimbledon. I hope you had a very jolly Canada Day and that you have a wonderful Pride.

Hello there dark_crystal (I loved that film and accompanying book) Cranberry scones you say? I know loads of folks who would like those, not me though I'm afraid I don't eat cakes, biscuits, scones, chocolate, sweets (candies) etc.etc.etc...How do you serve your scones? With butter and jam and clotted cream as is traditional?
Poor old Queenie just had her 'allowance' frozen at £7.9 million for the next 20yrs (instead of the usual 10yrs). It must be such a hard life!
