glaikityn. Around where I live is very rural, and people still collect horse manure for their roses. Did your neighbours have lovely roses, or did they have an allotment. Sorry you had Scarlet Fever as a little one. My younger sister and brother both had Scarlet Fever, one taken to the isolation hospital on Christmas Day, and the other one on Boxing Day. What a Christmas that was. I was packed off to my auntie's in the hope I wouldn't catch it, and I didn't. I was away for the 6 weeks, and when I got home I wanted to know where my teddy 'Walter' was, only to find out that the Public Health people had taken away all our soft toys to be burned. I cried torrents, and even now I wish I had taken 'Walter' with me. Strange isn't it as we are talking about Scarlet Fever, and I hadn't heard of it again since then, and thought it had been eradicated, but last week I read in the newspaper, that there had been a serious outbreak of the disease somewhere in the South of the country. By the way, the worm cakes were a bit like chocolate buttons but a bit bigger, and the top was covered with pink and blue 'hundreds and thousands'. and they did taste horrible. Take care of yourself. Cheerio! Schutz.
