What an emotive story, Sally. And in a way, sweet and sour. Sourness in the pain of Hiroshima and then the sweetness, not just of the cookies but of the souvenir shop. I like the sound of the biscuits - I may have to try.
Lemon, even more than chocolate , is the essence and flavor of my childhood. Lemonade, lemon bars, lemon shortbread, lemon sandwich cookies, lemon pound cake, lemon blueberry bundt cake even the citrus summer scent of my mom's 4711 perfume! Lemon is most evocative of childhood summers and lovely , lazy days !

Thank you for this.
Thanks Prue it was such a juxtaposition of sorrow and hope in a little store of beautiful things. Hope you enjoy the cookies xx

Oh I love this Susan. And lemon curd puddled in the centre of a lake clouds of whipped cream atop a crisp pavlova.
