coconut ice

I learnt about coconut pudding from my 365-friend Jill @okbye which made me remember coconut ice. So I went to the corner sweetshop in Bishops Waltham to buy some to photograph. Had to be quick taking the shots as the men in our house really like it. Although Ray did say that it didn't taste quite as nice as when he used to make it 'when I was a boy'. It's not usually covered in chocolate.
@okbye

Jill - I thought I was already following you and very surprised to find I wasn't - rectified now. Hope you like the look of the coconut ice!

Oh, Beryl, I didn't mean to upset you! And I only bought it with the dark chocolate on as the assistant said it would keep better - haha - no need! I asked her how she could bear to work in the sweet shop and she said that she doesn't like sweets!!

Have never had this...you make it look so refreshing. Of course with chocolate on it...it must be perfect.!!

Looks very tempting! My mum used to make this, along with peppermint creams and fudge for the church fete each year - and then we used to go and buy it, because she wouldn't let us eat any!

Nice.

@dolphin

Your mum obviously had the church funds in mind!!

@quietpurplehaze No worries, Hazel. I don't expect a follow-back. As you know, I follow people who make me chuckle and are great shooters. I know this is not the right lingo, but you get my drift, right?

Well I do the same and was astonished when I went to find your contact in my list of friends and you weren't there.

I'm not too sure what the pink dye is - could be a bit suspect if we knew!!!
