Travels & Devonshire Cream Tea
i admit food is my number 1 passion in life....i stil remember somebody asked a question 'What's your favourite food?'.....my favourite food, where? in Sg..I have a lot of favourite food coming from a lot of different countries..like the phos & springrolls frm Vietnam, quiche from France, homemade crepes, bread & butter pudding at Malaga, my mum's soups..etc
When I'm planning for trips, it revolves around the food I want to eat there..for example, i'm making a trip to England soon..and I want to try Devonshire Cream Tea, thus I'm looking for its origin so i can go there & sample the real thing! The best scones in Sg is actually from Fosters Cafe At Holland Village, a place where my gfs and I catch up with each other.
Other places on my itinerary includes Canterbury, Scarborough, York & Northumbria, why go there? Scarborough cos I used to play an organ piece called 'Scarborough Fair', a haunting & peaceful song. York cos I read James Herriot's vet stories of the beautiful moors, plains & countryside. Northumbria cos Harry Potter were filmed there! Weird huh...
Other travel places includes Prince Edward Island where Anne of Green Gables 'lived', and Morocco where the Prince of Morocco gave Portia a box of silver(i think) in Merchant Of Venice. Austria of Sound of the Music, Lappland where Santa lives.
How I wish sometimes we live in a fairy tale...
The Fairy Tree carved by Ola Cohn from 1931 - 34
A Gift to the Children of Melbourne
Foreword from her book 'The Fairies Tree"
" I have craved a tree in the Fritzroy Gardens for you and the fairies, but mostly for the fairies and those who believe in them, for they will understand how necessary it is to have a fairy sanctuary - a place that is sacred and safe as a home should be to all living creatures.
Therefore I dedicate this book to children and fairies as it is to them I owe my inspiration."
