Might make walking on a treadmill more entertaining. Thank you for the hot tip. One of the marvellous things about living in a warmish climate is that strawberries are available all year round.

Delicious.<br /><br />Oh Bligh was of course a Governor here in the colonial days and his contribution somewhat underrated. His contribution much maligned by the mutiny and his handling of the rum rebellion.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-36058948515766845612010-06-04T21:58:41.382+01:002010-06-04T21:58:41.382+01:00They look delicious.
