I was recently sent a gift pack from Godminster Cheese , just in time for Valentines day . . . their sweet "Heart to Heart" set , is a tasty combination of a delicious 200g Vintage Organic Cheddar and 150g Heart-Shaped Organic Brie, both heart shaped and presented in their very own unique gift box. Godminster Vintage Cheddar is completely organic, containing no preservatives and encased in a ruby coloured wax. There is no need to remove the wax as it makes the perfect case to keep it in.

Godminster Traditional Organic Brie, is an organic soft cheese, created using fresh milk from the Godminster Farm. With it's fresh flavour and creamy texture, this was also quite delicious. Inclued as well was a round of their lovely Organic Brie which I decided to ...
As a child I used to devour Enid Blyton books. I love the ones about the fairies and gnomes and wishing trees . . . but I especially loved the adventure books and the ones about kids in boarding schools with tuck boxes and tea time treats and picnic fare which sounded to me to be exotic.

We were never allowed to gorge ourselves on anything. My mother's idea of a...
Spam was not something which we ever had when I was growing up. I am not sure why that was. We never had tinned meat of any kind except for deviled ham, which my mother sometimes bought to make our sandwiches for lunch with. It came in a tin which was placed inside a paper wrapper decorated with little red devils. I am not sure, but I think the devils somehow made it taste better! The one and only tme I can remember ever enountering Spam was at school. A boy in my class wanted to trade his Spam sandwiches with my peanut butter ones. I wouldn't trade because I did not know what Spam was and I was a bit afraid of trying something that I had never had before. Besides, I really liked peanut butter. I was very lucky. I grew up in a country that was untouched by war in my lifetime and I had a father with a really good job. People over here in the UK have not been that lucky. Having been through two World ...
