I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

Mathew’s son Daniel took this picture of us.
Beautiful picture. I love ice cream cake!
It was truly delicious, Linda. 🙂
I love the look of the bread. My favourite is the ‘pane di casa’ or a nice chewy sour dough.
This is exactly what we like too, Gerard. Who says Australia is a boring place when you can have all this? 🙂
What a spectacularly shaped cake! Looks yum! I got a laugh out of the picture of the two men taking pictures 😀
Fascinating bit of info about Peter being a bricklayer once. Wishing Caroline a very happy birthday indeed 🙂
In an earlier life, when I was a bricklayer, there was a story around, that went like that:
“A mother and a daughter looked out a window and observed a group of toiling men. The daughter asked, ‘Mum, who are those people there?’ And her mother answered, ‘They are bricklayers, my child.’ After a moment of contemplation the daughter asked, ‘Are bricklayers human, too?’ ”
I think this put me off bricklaying forever. ;.)
Children do say the darndest things! So inadvertently profound.
Thanks, Munira. 🙂
This is where the birthday cake was from:
A shop in Victoria Street in Sydney!

The Syney shop’s trade name is: Gelato de Messina! Homemade on the premises.
This shop is in Victoria Street in Sydney. I blogged about it on the 8th of August.
They make yummy ice-cream/gelato! 🙂
Aha, Sicilian ice cream! A treat indeed 🙂
Absolutely, Munira. 🙂
