Happy finds



Ever since my mother died in 2001 Trish has been looking for her Coconut Ice recipe as she used to help Mum make it for the school fetes etc.. Recently I was in Wagga Wagga helping pack up my Aunt's home when I found these two scraps of paper with recipes hand written by Mum probably years and years ago.
