True Colours Thursday - LEMON!

Apologies again, as Blogger once more failed to publish this 'scheduled' post on time!

Last Thursday, New Zealanders Bodie & Doyle, the highly entertaining Professionals, on seeing what this weeks colour was, wrote... "Sheesh, Blue what planet you from? Lemon's a fruit!"
They may have a point, but LEMON is also a subtle shade of yellow!
You can clearly see the difference, can't you???
Having been 'Colour me Beautiful' colour coded back in the 1980's in Praireland Canada, I certainly can!
Being, declared a 'Summer' with 'Winter' tendencies, I was asvised I could wear the former pale shade.
But, not the brighter latter one - like, I didn't know that before???
And, LEMON does complement next weeks NAVY blue very well... It also seems, I wore LEMON as a baby!
Yes, this dress now worn by Miss Cassandra, one of my many bears is mine too...I found it carefully wrapped in tissue paper amongst my late Mothers hidden treaures.
It was obviously hand made & smocked for me - arhh...Whilst we're tripping down memory lane, this genuine Mink fur & silk LEMON rose was my Mothers...I recall her wearing it on a dark brown suit that had Mink buttons circum the 1960's!
She was a great lover of Roses, especially the fragrant rambling variety like these...
Now, you would think finding a LEMON cake to photo would be a piece of cake - no pun intended.
However, NO!
Getting desperate, I was planning to resort to this, a photograph, of a well used cook book recipe for LEMON Madeira Cake, from the days when I baked for a living...Then, in town yesterday, found the Celebration Cake Shops window marking Alice Day on Saturday!
They saved the post, if only via - LOL - LEMOM icing & Blonde Alice hair & Mad Hatters ears...PS - If you want the receipt to my cake, please let me know!

To join True Colours Thursday, all you need, is to post a photo/photographs & text, or better still both, on the specified colour of the week.

If you simply want to use the idea as a 'prompt' for a post, as I do now, with many memes, that's fine.

But, if, you'd like others including me, to visit you, please leave a comment below, so we know you are 'IN'!

For this meme only, I lift my 'Comment Moderation' to help players connect with each other.

Everyone, who to my knowledg participated last week, is named & linked in my side bar.

AND, I will try to up-date the list throughout the day.

Next weeks colour is NAVY - and not the Navy sung about by The Village People in the 1970's either!

If, anyone has a suggestion for a future 'Colour', please feel free to say via comment or email!

Am now off to enjoy my well earned Gin & Tonic with LEMON...
