We had these delivered today. Haven't seen them for almost 30 years. 185 gm pack. Would anyone like to guess how much they cost me?

They are still widely available here & much cheaper. $7 for 450gm box. We even have a 1kg box available.

There’s been outrage here just a few weeks back as they are changing from the original “bon bon” style wrapping with twisted ends to little sealed packets. They’ve added a new raspberry and white chocolate flavour (no complaints) but removed the strawberry cream.

Oh - they look as if they've already been opened! £24 a head inc. booze is good. But otherwise presume you aren't going to be roasting a turkey!

No, the turkeys here are a little non-descript. We had a fresh one back in 2000 which had been running around 2 hours earlier. Luckily we found someone to kill it and prepare it for the oven.

We may have roast pork. There's a restaurant a few kilometres away that sell carry out - similar to this:

No decorations in this house, although in a bizarre event, someone left a candle and a Christmas cracker on our doorstep this morning. Bemused.

However, in the nearby port, there is a tree on one of the big cranes, thus:

The tree and decorations are out of the loft and in the lounge, just need to sort them out now.
 
We bought our tree yesterday . It's now outside for a week to rid it off spiders that it is typically full of . It gets dusted down with an insecticide because otherwise I end up with a house full of poisonous spiders which I'm not keen on . However I leave it out for most of that time undusted and open to my chickens and chicks which do an exceptionally good job of eating most spiders anyway . It's in a bucket of water otherwise it will die in bright sunshine (today has hit 29C) and very dry winds (in sharp contrast to a few days ago).
