I fell in love with Coconut Ice at school fetes where the Mums and Nans would make this classic pink and white sweet!
School fetes were the best days! It was summer, everyone was outside, and we were loaded up with pocket money (or coins that we begged mum for at the breakfast table) so that we could buy up all the yummy sweets. Maybe it was the sugar rush that was so appealing???
This is a study for my 'After School Delights' collection. This series reminds me of a time that was so much fun, so carefree and full of adventure and curiousity.
It inspires me to bring more of that back into my life! I hope it does the same for you.
