Sugar Cube Cartoon

As usual on Saturday, we went to the market today. Of course, Jazzy went too. She very much enjoys meeting and being admired by her many friends there.


On the way, we saw this huge mushroom growing out of the side of a tree.











The patterns on its underside are interesting.

















Autumn
is coming and the conkers are beautiful and ready to drop.

We stopped at the cafe in the center of the market. And today I noticed the drawing on the paper wrapper on the sugar cubes. I never use the sugar, and so hadn't noticed before. I didn't know what I was missing! Each set has a different drawing on it. I just loved this one.

The sugar cube cartoon is so cute! We shot some interesting mushrooms/fungi too on our latest trip to the waterfall and will share them soon. Thanks for taking us on your day out.

Conkers!! I have yet to see an actual one despite reading them in stories during my childhood days. Kids put a string thru it and use them to "battle" by bashing the conkers to see whose would break right?

Hi Divemuster!

Yes, that's what kids do with the conkers. All the places I grew up there weren't any conkers, but my mother told me about them and I also read about them.

Tony did play with conkers and he says that they did all sorts of things to them to make them harder, like soaking them in vinegar and baking them. But he's not convinced that it worked.

They're the best sugar cube wrappers I've ever seen!
