Rhubarb and custard by craftymeg

Rhubarb and custard

That’s what these colours remind me of and take me back to childhood boiled sweets. Does anyone else remember sour plooms, fishes, licorice and black currant , pineapple chunks, cola cubes, satin cushions, dolly mixtures, fruit salad, sherbet fountains, aniseed balls, chewy nuts, Teacakes, licorice-torpedoes, cherry lips, to name but just a few!😋.
Better on black

Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.

Beautiful color!

Beautiful colours and flowers - Yes I remember these sweets well . My mum had the Village shop , One window was shelved with rows of all these sweet jars with many of these sweets . Amazing I never was drawn to the sweets , and never yearned for any !
