I had them for dessert last night and breakfast this morning :)<br /><br />My mother remembers lining up for the queen when she visited. They had two days. On one day they had to wear their summer uniform and the next their winter uniform. On one of those days, can't remember which, they were too hot or too cold as a result.<br /><br />My husband remembers standing for Princess Alexandria when she came. Quite enough to turn him into a republican. Hours waiting at the Albury showground. She appeared in a land rover or something and drove past quite fast. Pointless and time wasting the whole exercise as far as he was concerned.<br /><br />Regards<br />Anne<br />Catching up on my A to Z blog visiting <a href="http://ayfamilyhistory.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/q-is-for-queenscliff-in-1882.html" rel="nofollow"> Q is for Queenscliff in 1882 </a><br />----------<br><br />Anne Young <br><br /><a href="http://ayfamilyhistory.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Anne's family history </a><br />Anne Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970750528434435027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644791041541902287.post-19623916315453109162017-04-21T22:48:44.813+10:002017-04-21T22:48:44.813+10:00I saw quince trees when living in Melbourne.

Recipes always look like a lot of work. <br />Thanks to your sister for sharing her visiting Queen story. The Queen came to NZ in the 1960s and we lined the street to wave.

I always thought it would be wonderful to live in a country with monarchy, although in reality I'm quite happy to live in the USA. =) <br /><br />Visiting from the A to Z Challenge.

The skin sounds a bit like a peach that is fuzzy - but the peach skin is soft enough that it can be eaten. A kiwi - also a fuzzy fruit - is not so pleasant to eat!Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644791041541902287.post-51583933666385609332017-04-20T07:11:21.858+10:002017-04-20T07:11:21.858+10:00Great post and recipes!

If I'd had these recipes then, I would have tried to whip something up!Molly of Molly's Canopyhttp://mollyscanopy.com/noreply@blogger.com
