Summery things


Goodness, what a lot of spammy comments are getting put on my old posts. Surely no one would ever fall for their ill-written suggestions that by clicking on a link, one would acquire untold wealth by illegal means that no one would ever find out about? Anyway, there's a certain satisfaction in zapping them. 

On Thursday, we went up to Son's house with Son-in-Law 1 and the Edinburgh Two. The cousins get on well together. Here they are in a crow's nest thing in a playpark.


And here are the boy cousins, leading the way up the hill beside Son's house. 


And here we are in a clearing in the wood. 


When we visited Melrose with the Edinburgh Two last week, the place we were for lunch offered Knickerbocker Glories, but everyone was too full after their first courses, so I promised to get the ingredients for them for the next time the children came to our house. When our own children were young, I hit on the excellent (in my modest opinion) idea for their parties of providing cheese and tomato pizzas and lots of toppings for the guests to construct their own pizzas, and also make-your-own Knickerbocker Glory kits. These were a) labour-saving and also b) very popular - if not c) very healthy. I did also supply salad and strawberries, but... you know. 

Anyway, we still had the glasses so I bought all the stuff and everyone had a happy time on Sunday making up their own KGs.  The photo below is perhaps not very suggestive of a wholesome meal but it was fun. Not to be repeated every week, though... . 



And ah... summer in the garden.

  1. What fun you're having--with the spam comments, with grandchildren and with treats. What is a Knickerbocker Glory??

    1. Oh, I thought it probably came from America. Just a sundae (maybe?) in a long glass, with different layers of ice creams and anything else you fancy.

  2. I'm sure Australia can't be blamed for creating a Knickerbocker glory, though it does look a bit like a Parfait.
    Always amazed at the great places you find to take your grandchildren.

  3. Definitely never heard of a knickerbocker glory in the antipodes!!! Fabulous name for a fabulous dish - we used to fill little bags with icing and get them to decorate biscuits as well, or make little men out of marshmallows and toothpicks with chocolate icing faces. Simpler times!

  4. And in answer to your comment, Australia is so far behind in the vaccinations because our PM is an idiot, and last year prioritised the vaccine we could make ourselves without putting enough effort into getting in the queue for the overseas vaccines. So when the clotting problem came up and the AZ wasn't recommended for under 60s we didn't have enough supply... it was some very poor policy choices and I suspect not done on proper advice.

  5. I'd never heard of a KG and had to look it up -- it looks divine! Your summer garden is looking heavenly -- and I would expect nothing less!
