These past months my time was not always my own and my blogging suffered a lot under it.
Ailsa announced a very interesting theme for this week : CONNECTIONS.

SMARTIES : As a little girl I arranged them in little heaps. It could have been two toned or tri-coloured heaps, depending on how I felt. I formed patterns with them and even used to build little pictures with them. Lately I only enjoy these tasty titbits but they always connect my mind with my childhood affinity for it.

Smarties have been enjoyed by many all the world over. I always loved eating them as a child a d now my own children enjoy them.

Colline, as I grew older I have lost my love for sweet things a bit, but Smarties is still a favourite

I still love Smarties, but here in the USA, I have to make do with M&M’s. They’re not nearly as nice. 🙂

Don’t think anything can beat smarties 😛

Love this connection! They do not have “our SA” smarties here!

toe my man destyds eerste maal Engeland toe is, het hy vir ons kinders Engelse smarties saamgebring en hulle was glad nie lekker nie

Ja jong, hier is n paar goed wat regtig nie juis aan te beveel is wat smaak betref nie

Amy, it amazes my how Smarties can recall the pleasure I derived from them as a child

HI Rosa,
This post made me smile. Smarties were not available in America, but as children, whenever we traveled to Canada, we would have them as a special treat. I remember thinking that the lavender colored Smarties were my favorite. SO much more interesting than M&Ms!

to this day Smarties are still a treat to me, and I can get them when ever i would like to. as a kid I sorted them according to colors and then enjoyed them
