I might have to make do with a chocolate Father Christmas!

A very good point, Jim, from the days when the only time
there would be any fresh fruit in the house would
be at Christmastide.

There'd be a neat bowl of fruit on the table, but you weren't expected

In sharp contrast to today's weekly shop where I bought grapes,

Not apples, though, as we've a glut this year from the

Bowl of nuts, strange shaped box of dates, satsuma. Thats your lot
