The British Lolly Shop

A month or so ago Dave and I discovered possibly the best shop in Sydney - The British Lolly Shop. They sell lots of old school style sweets including lemon sherbet, mint humbugs, black jacks and fruit salads, flying saucers, my favourite strawberry millions and the list goes on...They also sell English Cadbury's chocolate: this is an absolute blessing as Australian Cadbury's tastes is disgusting and tastes like tobacco (apparently due to the extra preservatives they have to add to stop it melting in the heat or something like that). Of course all of these goodies are ridiculously expensive so a trip there only occurs on a special occasion.

The other night we went for a late night walk around the harbour and came across this little gem of a shop and decided a new year's treat was in order. We splashed out on some strawberry bon-bons, black jacks, those little sweetie bracelets, and butterscotch Angel Delight.
I was most excited about the Angel Delight: I absolutely love it as it brings back lots of childhood memories for me - it cost $5 so about GBP 3, which is absolutely extortionate but it was soooooo good. With lots of sprinkles on top, $5 for that much happiness was well worth it :)
