Top of the Pops

It was Mothering Sunday this weekend and that brought a mix of the old and the new. (How fortunate for someone joining in with Sian's Memorandum Monday.) We have a family tradition where my daughter makes my favourite lemon and mascarpone cake for Mother's Day

If you want to try some, better come quick as it won't last long!

And the new? Well, one of my favourite sweets is sherbet lemons, and look what Rachel found for me:

Oh my goodness, this is amazing, I don't know where she found it but I've never seen it locally. 

Moo-ving on ...

A puzzle for you:

Q:   What do my hands and a cow's udder have in common?  (Own up, none of you ever want to shake hands with me now)

A:   They both benefit from this brilliant skin moisturiser.

Have you ever heard of it?  It's called Moo Goo and it is wonderful.  A friend of mine raves about it and a new shop has opened in town who stocks the brand.  Firstly, let's appreciate the packaging - isn't it clever?  It looks like a box of milk.  Then let's consider the all natural products, none of those nasty artificial ingredients or things you could be allergic to.  Apparently it was developed after they discovered a rather brilliant way of keeping cows' udders in tip top condition.  All I can say is that after only 3 days of using it, my hands are soft and smooth as a cow's udder baby's bottom.  There is one drawback though, apart from all the cow related word play, (what heifer am I talking about?) it is irresistible to dogs.  Well maybe not all dogs, but certainly ours is driving me mad. 

So that's it from me, let's give a beautifully moisturised wave to Sian and see what everyone else has tried for the first time since we last met.
