Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land
Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

The cake looks yummy and I'm sure it tasted yummy too. All the three pictures are too good. Thanks for sharing.
pls find a way of having virtual cake soon so that we can share food online... hehehehe :-)
Re. the cake, Henry and I made it. It didn't quite go as planned, but tasted great.
I personally can’t stand icing/frosting. It’s just sugar and overrides any flavour and moisture inherent in the cake. I know the kids love it, but while Ez is still little enough to not care, I’m happy to make a cake that I actually want to eat!
By the way, do you have that tradition of putting as many candles on a birthday cake as many years old is the birthday person?
So, that's all we get!!!?? - only 3 pics :-(?????????????????
I am waiting on more photos from the birthday. I was too busy helping host than snapping away.
