    I saw an advert for a pork scratchings advent calendar. I didn't notice the price but it's probably less than£250

    I'll probably aim a touch higher than that. Pig snacks have their place I'm sure but eating a greasy bit of crunchy skin cut of a pig's bum isn't the Xmas warmup I'm looking for.

    'Does one enjoy a dram with one's cornflakes or does one risk the elves and leave it until one is sat down in the evening in the drawing room wearing a smoking jacket as is proper?' 

    Well, @wild edges,  as a revered man of the world, I'd assume you'd follow the correct etiquette at all times, and wait for the port to be passed round before consuming a small calendar related treat of some kind. Once the laydees have left the room, of course. 

    Alternatively - just neck it back as soon as you've opened it. It'll help remove the pain of the previous night's weevil hunt. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Or do as most kids do with the chocolate ones. Consume the lot in one sitting

    Whisky for breakfast?  Why not ... they put it in marmalade don’t  they?

    Well if anyone asks I'll say you told me it was ok. :)  A snifter of bramble whisky stirred into yogurt and poured over granola maybe. Or I could just dip my toast in it like a connoisseur.
    A gusty damp night and the weevils are hiding under the leaves and using the sedum umbels as umbrellas. I still found 12 and also found another elephant hawkmoth caterpillar. Another brown one and half the size of greeny so he's got some serious catching up to do.
    Has anyone else noticed that you only seem to get harvestmen in one size? It's like they're born fully grown. There must be small ones out there but you never see them.

    Does it work for keeping toddlers asleep too?
