Christmas Roses

No, not hellebores this time!

I'm using the fact that it's the shortest day of the year as my excuse for not having had time to produce a more creative blip than this emergency chocolate one. It's officially Christmas now as we've opened the Roses Chocolates. (My favourite is the orange one. Which is yours?) I can just about remember an old TV ad for Roses chocolates, with the slogan "Roses grow on you! Oooh!" But the silly words running around my brain belong to the old nursery rhyme:

Moses supposes his toeses are roses
but Moses supposes erroneously,
for nobody's toeses are posies of roses
as Moses supposes his toeses to be.

Please help yourself to a virtual chocolate.
Happy winter solstice!
