I have never tried flapjacks, but they look delicious - I like oaty slices.<br /><br />I appreciate many of the lifetsyle aspects we have here too - I remember my small flat in London with the almost non-existent kitchen, complete with washing machine, double burner and bar fridge!Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-76794725632135104622009-12-22T13:53:53.451+11:002009-12-22T13:53:53.451+11:00Your Scotland-Australia comparison is very diploma...Your Scotland-Australia comparison is very diplomatic--both have much to love. :) When I think of flapjacks, I think of pancakes, but these are entirely different.

I haven't tried the crystallized sort, but should! <br /><br />It is curious, flapjacks in the states refer to pancakes, it's fun to see that the term has a completely different meaning overseas. <br /><br />Welcome home, and Merry Christmas!Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-42872152073663308082009-12-21T18:27:26.910+11:002009-12-21T18:27:26.910+11:00Glad you had such a good time in the UK.

Now that I would miss if I left the UK. Glad to hear that you've arrived back in nice Christmassy spirit - and the gingery flapjacks sound just the ticket!Lysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415024852684873909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-39687248023239537702009-12-21T02:27:52.933+11:002009-12-21T02:27:52.933+11:00Welcome home!
