Mum Loved the wintertime.
When we were kids
she could always fool us with the clock
and get us into bed early.
While in summertime she re-hung
the black out curtains.
During school holidays
she would happily let us make treacle toffee;
eating it tied our tongues for hours.

You've given me such a craving now, Val. I too used to love treacle toffee but had forgotten all about it over the years. We have a tiny sweetshop in our village and I'm just off out to see if they have any. I might just see if they have any pear-drops as well. Another thing I used to love. Thanks for the memory, Val:-) Tina xx

You're welcome Tina. It's a wonder we ever had any teeth left after all the home made treacle toffee we ate! It was lovely though, especially with apple in it. (-; Val x
