Ah, that explains why we went past a window like that a little while ago, this is fairly local to us, and the window we went past was fantastic.

Morning, hope everyone is well.

Does anyone have any hamper ideas for my mum for Xmas? She's not a huge foodie but loves Gin...so a bottle of Gordon's vs S is on the list. I ordered one of those 2 quid jute seaside bags a while back so want to fill it with lovely things for her.

It doesn't have to be cheap. Just lovely. Any ideas welcome.

Thanks

Been quite a few gin posts on here in last couple weeks but sorry I didn't take much notice

Think it was MHOC and DM who posted.

G, I, N candles from Asds. Gin crisps from Morribobs. A lemon & cucumber. A selection of gins. Some nice one serving bottles of tonic (bit late to be ordering the free glasses from fever tree) Some nice glasses. Some gin botanical herbs/spices. A nice glass. Her favourite snack that she likes with gin. Gin balls.

Thank you, some great ideas there. Never thought of using the candles to spell out GIN. You're very clever

Talking of gin......Just heard on the radio this morning about a gin festival in Kent next year for anyone local...

Good morning all....

I have a free day today I think...I was supposed to be collecting some presents but I think I'm going to get a text to delay it.....

It seems as if we are in the lull before the storm...most things are done with the exception of things like veg and the stuff that will be fresh so I can't get that till saturday and in the meantime it's just waiting.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the whole Gin thing...we've tried it several times over the years and each time never got to the bottom of the first glass....and in several cases not beyond the first sip!

We are however munching chocolate like it's going out of fashion and the 2 tubs are almost empty so may need replacing.

Hoping that everyone's day is stress free....
