Going off topic... Whilst we lived in Cornwall, my favourite Grandmother was a midwife on Portland in Dorset, whenever she came to visit she would bring me a trifle she'd made in a green glass trifle bowl. As a very keen trifle lover, from a very early age, I'd always looked forward to Grans visits!
When Gran died, a few years back now, My Mum phoned me and asked if there was anything of Grans I really wanted? She asked the same of my twin brother and my two cousins.
I split my list in two and in one half asked "Things I'd like if nobody else wants them" and asked for two or three things that remined my of Gran that I would of liked... in the other half of the list "I'll kill to ensure I get this"... I listed Grans green glass trifle bowl.
I got the bowl and whenever I use it (Which is often!) it always reminds me of Gran and of Portland.
Me and my twin (he's a chef) were discussing how much alcohol you could use in a trifle. I won the unoffical contest by managing to use a whole bottle of sherry - mainly by using the sherry to make up the jelly instead of water.......
Gosh - memories eh?
