Orders happily received. We love our Minties here, especially the way they get stuck in your teeth and remove your fillings. They're the staple of many matinee film screenings in everyone's childhood, along with jaffas (chocolate balls covered with hard orange candy) which you roll down the aisle at all the soppy romantic moments, and fantales, kind of chewy caramel/chocolate sweets so-called because their wrappers have Interesting Facts about film stars. Thanks Mairead for the proper Porky; I now understand your miffiness. The subtleties and frustrations of herb gardening are, I think, a rich and perhaps rather neglected corner of poetry growing. I think Australia is the poorer without your Adobe, and we must start a campaign to get you here. It's not so far, after all.
