We still have one - but the noise has got to me, the original wooden gears have been replaced by a metal one and now ours could possibly be heard past our boundary. I always look for little bits written by HL in the listener, she used to do a bit - but not so much now.Stellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073753506202447996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219735658025200238.post-31597932966981346512008-05-28T19:58:00.000+12:002008-05-28T19:58:00.000+12:00Dear Ungrateful Wretch,Think of it as character bu...Dear Ungrateful Wretch,<BR/><BR/>Think of it as character building, having to endure our beautifully sickly iconic desert.

The research definitely seems the fun part - the uncovering of a social history of cook books and recipes spreading like a virus.<BR/><BR/>The pavlova - a sickly concoction if ever there was one - was force fed to me when I came to New Zealand:<BR/><BR/>"You must have some pavlova.
