I have a confession to make. I fell by the wayside and into shameful temptation. I only meant to eat one, but suddenly my box of Scottish mince pies I bought and promised myself I'd keep unsullied until Christmas Eve became empty!
So, I ordered another but as punishment for my sin, the only supplier in China is out of stock. (Maybe he ate them, too.) He did apologise and offered to instead send me a box of the more expensive Glenfiddich Whisky type, but at no extra cost! There is redemption!
I've also ordered some Gordal olives to go with my manchego. And some digestive biscuits to go with my cheddar.
