I had lived where public transit was really great (and often faster than driving) so I didn’t get my license until I was 25, when I moved to South Florida (where transit sucks). I think being older, I had more patience and better judgement than I would have as a teenager.
Mum’s cheesecake looks just perfect and so lovely.

I had a sister just like yours! To this day, I insist on driving when we’re in the car together. 🙂 Great story! If it says “Mum’s”, it’s got to be good – just a basic, simple, down to earth cheesecake. Love it!

Ah one always remembers their first set off wheels with such fondness. They tend to correspond closely with a first taste of real freedom. Your mum looks like she was a great cook too.

My mother had a Datsun 120y too! She used to collect me from before-school piano lessons and drive me to High School one morning a week. I was always late to the first class and remember my classmates saying they knew when we were coming because you could hear the 120Y’s distinct engine sound a mile away!! RIP indeed x

They cetainly don’t make cars the same way anymore! A small ding and they’re a right off! Go the Datsuns 😉 We used to have one growing up, my Dad drived an old council bin green one, the colour was putrid but as you say the car was indestructable 🙂
I do love a good baked cheesecake! Thanks for sharing you Mumma’s recipe xx

The legendary Datto! i don’t have personal experience with a Datto, but one of my friends in highschool had a very old VB Holden Commodore that would not die no matter what we did to it. She lost the keys to it one day, but we quickly learned that a flat head screwdriver was all you needed to both unlock the doors and start the car. There were holes in the floor and the thing was an absolute deathtrap, but at 17 we thought it was the best little car ever. It was all about the freedom, not necessarily the class 😉

I LOVE a good cup of tea and a book with the cheesecake

I loved your driving stories. I wonder how many modern day cars would cope with that treatment?! And I am sure those front trees were stressed with the driving going on around them (and then into them!) 🙂 I was terrified of driving when I started and have never mastered parallel or reverse parking properly but am glad I haven’t hit much in my time – a few kerbs and surely we all do that!?

Haha, love the driving story. This cheesecake looks awesome! I love when it has a topping on top of the cheesecake. Looks super creamy 🙂
