I remember when mum used to make homemade ice cream.... before it ever was on sale in the stores... She also used to hand write out her recipes in an old book and I copied lots of them and brought with me from Australia. I know they are favourites because the pages are blotted with butter stains or crumpled edges ... and I remember having to whip the cream with a hand beater for ages till it was thick. There were no food processors or blenders back then. :-)

I used to stir the fruit in the big boiling pot when we were making jam from our own raspberries or apricots.... we take so much for granted now.

New wallpaper for you... I hope you like it.

I know that some of you are saving my desktop wallpapers from my blogs and I want to remind you that there are 244 of them in a Collection on whimsydust.com. Just tonight I put them into a folder for myself to use as a screensaver for Windows XP.... so if you are interested in having a very pretty bunch of assorted wallpapers the Collection is reasonably priced and I know you will enjoy it.

The forget me nots I planted from seeds haven't done well. I think they don't like the soil in the pot. Darn things I was hoping I'd have a nice little display of them this year. They are supposed to be easy to grow. Maybe the seeds weren't so good. They came up ... sprouted... but that's been the end of them really. Even my fertilizer in the water... didn't seem to help. Oh well... I'll have to console myself by looking at the lovely vintage photos that have forget me nots on them... lots of postcards etc... Maybe next year I'll see them in my garden.... :-))

On my WhimsyDust Affair blog I posted a link to the great series called North and South.

If you are into English drama set in the 1850's this is another wonderful show for you to watch. I've sat up in my bed with my laptop and watched each episode on UTube. Skip over to the other blog for the link if you are interested.
