The trifle had to be just right, exactly like the trifle at Bad Harry's birthday party in the story. I had brought some jelly and tins of mandarin oranges with me from England, and we found the "jelly sweets", the sponge cakes, the cream, and the custard with very little difficulty. But the little silver balls were more difficult. In the end, Papy took them to a different supermarket.
Here is the finished trifle : the children's version of course. Silver balls placed by Sacha, jelly sweets cut and placed by Louis. Sacha cut up the orange jelly with an expert hand. French readers who don't know about trifles need to be aware that there is an alcohol-drenched version for adults.
Louis went and rang on the bell next door, and invited Selma and her mother Sophie to taste an English pudding. They came gladly, and said that they enjoyed it very much.
They have promised to make a French cake very soon for the boys to try.
What a beautiful piece of art! Well done. I bet it tasted as good as it looks xxx
