nice with tea
Last week I was lucky enough to receive a package in the mail containing Cadbury’s chocolate buttons, sent from England by the fenland artist Anita Davies (check out her artblog). I had commented on one of her drawings (of a cake covered in chocolate buttons, it looked perfect to have with tea) that I had been moaning to myself that I can’t get Cadbury’s Buttons here in the US, and so she offered to send me some in exchange for a drawn postcard.
Cadbury’s Buttons for a drawing, well how could I refuse, and so I draw the picture below and popped it in the mail. It’s a picture of the Silo, which I’ve drawn on many a lunchtime (but a place which completely fails to sell Cadbury’s Buttons). It went from one flat land (Davis) to another (the Fens). I soon received my choccies (various different size Buttons, plus two ‘Freddo’s which were dunked in tea and eaten almost as soon as I saw them). Cheers Anita! Much appreciated.
So, folks, I draw for buttons.
but not for zips
Tell you what, I do love Cadbury’s Tiffin too…
petescully 
you are both lucky guys. op gets chocolate, the other a drawing. i grew up in india and used to love the cadbury stuff available there. at least you can get the regular chocolates here in germany now.
so pete, in case you want to exchange another drawing for sonsthing german just let je know. :)
i would try to exchange ms drawings against chocklates too, but i’m unfortunately not as skilled as you. :)
sorry for the typos. Not easy to post/comment from the phone.
Ach, don’t tempt me with german chocolate! Jogurt Milka is second only to Cadbury’s Tiffin in my all-time chocolate dream team. I moved to germany once just for the chocolate.
so don’t you think some german chocolate will bring good ‘ol memories back? And we’ve got a lot of new tastes here too. ;) when and where did you live in germany?
I have so many questions about Cadbury, that I´m off to Anita´s blog to ask her some questions. :) Maybe she can answer them.
LOL…Poor Freddos!
the freddo’s did not stand a chance.
germany… i moved there but briefly twelve years ago (Überlingen am bodensee) but left early. still love the place though, and all the lovely milka. and my old pal jürgen klinsmann of course. was last there in 05, travelled around bavaria and into switzerland. Got caught in a ferocious hailstorm in the english gardens in munich, everyone suddenly had icecubes in their beer, and the brass band played on. Great place.
We just had a similar hailstorm some weeks ago. Crazy!
