I really is true, we are two nations divided by one language! http://verbinaone.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-live-five-minutes-bus-ride-or-fifteen.htmlphilippahttp://verbinaone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698922485243480783.post-68612370413395790752007-11-26T16:05:00.000-05:002007-11-26T16:05:00.000-05:00Haha!

So far no luck.<BR/><BR/>Philippa - your memory of your grandparents and soldiers is so lovely.<BR/><BR/>Mandy - I hope the memories it brings back are of the comfort part and not the being sick part.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Polly - I had just stumbled onto a book chock full of vintage children's illustrations and happened to open to that Humpty Dumpty one when I was getting ready to post.Chaya Blumahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12716817076212284464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698922485243480783.post-72389737594194162232007-11-24T14:19:00.000-05:002007-11-24T14:19:00.000-05:00It does actually sound yummy! I think I may have offended Alison once when she commented about something creamed cabbage or like. I just didn't know what it was =) Thank you for googling this one for me. Great picture to put with your post too!! Blessings..

I followed the link from Alison's vote page...so glad I did! I never even dreamt that 'Soldiers' wouldn't be understood outside the shores of good ol' Blighty. <BR/><BR/>They were a part of my Childhood, though in my case is was more of a nursery breakfast than supper. When I stayed over at my Grandparents, my Grandma would make me breakfast which included a little boat shaped basket lined with candy pink and white stripped napkins and bundled within were hot soldiers (with the crusts cut off, naturally). I would take my time to smother the solders first in butter and then with chocolate spread. Such a treat! <BR/><BR/>When my Grandparents passed away and we packed up their belongings, I stumbled upon the pink and white striped napkins and I was instantly 5 again with chocolate smudges on my mouth. Solders are a wonderful wonderful memory from my childhood. You should have another go and who knows, perhaps you'll end up creating memories too!philippahttp://verbinaone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698922485243480783.post-68333626106125507652007-11-12T08:29:00.000-05:002007-11-12T08:29:00.000-05:00Oh lovely post! good luck with your entry!
