Top Of The Milk

[poliphilo]

An ice cream van just went down the road with its chimes playing a song I remember from my 1950s childhood and which I can't think I've heard since. The chorus goes something like this.

You, me and us;
We are my favourite people
we both go together like peaches and cream
And bells and a church and a steeple.

Ghastly.

Is it a Doris Day number?

Ice cream vans never play anything up to date. I guess it's a copyright thing.

But now I can taste the tinned peach slices in syrup, with cream from the top of the milk bottle, which my mother used to give us for dessert.

"What's for pudding, mumma?"

"Peaches with top of the milk."

"Oooh-  super!"

Your user name is what my husband calls me :-)

Oh wow! That, plus the fact that you express an interest in Roman history in your userinfo page, is enough to have just made me friend you. No obligation to reciprocate, but I consider it polite to let people know when I've done so.

Ps I have a couple of filters,witchcraft and dark poetry.just give me a nod if you'd like to be on them

Thanks for adding me! As for filters, the dark poetry sounds good, so please add me to that. I'll leave the witchcraft, though - although I am a polytheist, I'm very Classical in approach, so it wouldn't really be my thing.
