I now know the satisfaction that Albert Einstein must have felt when Arthur Eddington proved his theoretic observations in reality, going against much of which was accepted science in it's day.
Okay, so I certainly haven't found the answers to the speed of light or the made a giant leap for mankind in solving the mysteries of the universe. I can't do calculus, almost failed trigonometry and still have algebra nightmares - but I have discovered a fusion which is more in touch with the day to day life of the average family than

so glad this worked out as you had planned :)
You have some wicked ideas with cream and strawberries, Rose. I like it!!
What a beautiful dessert! The rooibos syrup sounds divine.
Definitely WAYYY prettier!!! :)
I like the idea of the rooibos syrup. I've just been dreaming up strawberry ideas too, trying to think of some way of presentig fresh strawberries for a school cake sale. Ended up making strawberry tartlets with a glaze. They look pretty too but I'll have to photograph them tomorrow , as it's now way too dark. Hope they stil look as good in the morning.
This is really a delicious treat! I love it! This is going to be the nicest breakfast ever!
