"You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar, and though I asked most distinctly for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition, and the extraordinary sweetness of my nature, but I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far."
Oscar Wilde (The Importance of Being Earnest)

ReplyDeletemmmm....
would fit perfect with our summery weather!

Dearest Jasmin,
ReplyDeletefirst, thank you so much for your lovely comments! I've been very surprised finding your thoughts at different places at the Rose.
And: It bothers me I'm late with the stamps and the doilies...I've purchased at auction some nice pieces weeks ago. So, I make a term with me and the German federal Post Office for next monday!
Then: Lemon cake? Never sampled... But I know the movie! Fantastic The King's Speech-actor Colin Firth...did you see Girl With The Pearl Earring, Painter Vermeer?
See you tomorrow with a DREAM at woolfy Nadine?

Ariane, it is always a pleasure. Don't worry about being late with anything, I am late with everything here, including stamps for you too.

Emma, there was a blogger crash yesterday wasn't there? Bit scary, i've lost treasured comments too..... i love lemon cake, but for me chocolate is supreme.
