Sorely lacking

There are some things in this wonderful country I live in that are sorely lacking. No Fish N Chip shops for a quick dinner on the way home. No cafe to grab an Egg Sarnie and cup of tea while strolling through town. No sidewalks for the most part.

One of the places where I notice the most difference is at the grocery store. It took me years to adapt my digestive system and recipes to Hannafords or Shaws. I order teabags and baked beans from Amazon. Every so often I pick up custard powder and some decent stuffing at a specialty store in Freeport.

On my last visit home there was a particular cereal I had been craving and managed to devour several boxes of. So imagine my joy when I received an email today informing me of a new cereal available in my local grocery store this month. The first person to comment will win a lifetime supply.


Only joking! I have neither the power nor the cereal to make that happen. But I highly recommend that you try a delicious bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes this month.



And, no, I did not get paid in money or cereal for "endorsing" this product.

  1. Oh How I understand your joy of finding the Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. I was in Walmart and did a double take when I saw it. I picked up 2 boxes and ran. I didn't know if it was going to be a promo or not. I called my friend in NJ and told her too,. She told me that she had already picked up 3 boxes and was tempted to pick up a forth.

    I do miss Kebabs, Heinz baked beans at a decent price, Topic (chocolate and custard cremes.
    The things I took for granted..sigh!
    Thank you for sharing xx
