If I ever have to urge to make myself sick, I will go and buy some....thank god I'm irish......

Having a good time in Victoria......have to love the rain.....tried to get to Botanical Beach the other day.....and almost there part of the road had washed away.....the joys of living on the island.....

I once had a piece of marmite on toast sent to me from Germany (to England). I lived there and on my return some friends thought it would be fun to show how much they missed me!
The funny thing was that British customs opened the parcel and after putting the bits together you could see some customs officer had taken a big bite.
Bloomin cheek eh!

Can't always be guaranteed success with the fingers.....however I have no doubt the marmite would do the trick......

There is an advert in blighty saying love it or loathe it and it show someone bathing in the stuff. My sons addicted to it - has marmite on toast evey breakfast and lunch. Its just so deliously savoury - I can see we are going have to smuggle it over when we go. Ohh and did someone mention mazipan that is just so fab.

Try mint sauce on your beans on toast.

You can buy it in regular grocery stores in both the UK and Canada ... but go ahead and smuggle it if you feel the urge ...

I was lucky with the weather on my trip back - it was sunny (but very cold) all but one day and the day after I left, it snowed! If you're in desparate need of some nice weather just send me a plane ticket.
