La More Sweets - Tirau...

I di say yesterday that I would fill you in on the La More Sweets from Tirau, but first I've just had an email from Anne White asking if I had put the photo of the ginger calf with two blondes up on purpose..I had to laugh as I hadn't, but Anne is the redhead and Nat & I are blondes...even if mine is covering the grey!! Anyway, La More today gave us this fantastic prize to go into the Pink Paradise raffle. Inside it is:
A vintage French style plate.
A pink English roses jug.
Coconut Ice
Bassetts baby Jelly Babies
Love Hearts
Frys Turkish Delight
Galaxy Chocolate Bars - multiple bars
Fruit Polos
Thorntons Toffee
Nougat
Bon-bons
Frys Peppermint Cream
Blackberries and raspberries
Sour Apples
Fruit pastilles
and more.......
Lots of these are English imports, and cost an arm and a leg - I know for sure becuase being a POM means that these are the things that I can't give up....If you want to have that Olde World charm of an amazing sweet shop, just call in. They are No 3 Main Rd, Tirau. It is one of the new shops up by the Loose Goose in Tirau, I know that when I walked in for the first time, I was transported back to the sweet shop next door to my primary school in the UK...And yes, they have soooo many KIWI ones too - and for ex pat POMS, they have Hula Hoops, but I can't fit them on my fingers anymore to eat them - for the non POMS, they are circular potato chips, and as kids, we would put one on each finger tip and crunch them off as we walked home from school....Those were the days!!
