Another Gift

There was a tradition in The Man's family to give dates and  Maltesers at Christmas. Over the years I've let this slip but The Daughters had remembered about the dates and wrapped a packet up for their Dad.

Mmmm! I love these Medjoul dates, Nigella got me onto these ones!

You want one now, don't you? You're wondering what happened to the box that appeared on the sideboard at Christmas. You're wondering if guests finished them off at New year.

Mmmm! That lovely,sugary, chewy mouthful, taking care to avoid the stone. As soon as I get this shot I will be devouring the rest!
