Mr TF and I have just returned from a trip out in the Cotswolds.

We found a shop selling old fashioned sweets in jars!!!!!

We have come back with little twisty bags with 4oz each of Sherbert Lemons, Rhubarb and Custards, Sogs and Bitter Acid Drops.

Awesome :D

They'll get fined soon enough for using imperial measures rather than metric.

Also one in the Swan Centre opposite Ourgoose (sp. on porpoise).

Is it my taste buds though? These sweets all seem less full of flavour then when I was a kid?

OK, I know I'm going back some 45 years!
