Half a Pound of Purple Sweeties!

A pile of Vimto Creams with one of my 28mm scale Khanate Legion miniatures for scale.

The misery of a runny nose and a boakey throat are beginning to lift…hurrah!  Not quite back to normal but way better than I was earlier this week.  To that end I decided to treat myself and the kids to some ‘sweeties’ or candy for those of you not from the UK.  Luckily for me there is a top quality shop very near to my home in Girvan which specialises in sweets.  So off I went and I found…Vimto Creams!

You can see the jar they come in below.  I asked for two ‘quarters’.  Sweets in Scotland are measured in the old imperial system of pounds and ounces and a quarter is a quarter pound of sweets by weight.  The sweets looked, felt and tasted great.

You can see them and buy them (if you are not in Girvan…very likely) here.  Give them a try.

Cheered me right up!
