When we first moved to our current city, we lucked out and met some great neighbours, who became good friends for the short time they lived here.  This lemon loaf recipe came from her.  I now make it every year when my in-laws bring back a box of citrus fruit for us from Arizona.  I don’t make it at any other time of the year for some reason, but in February, it’s a nice little ray of much needed sunshine.
