Mince pies aren’t a thing in

Posted on Sun, 12 Dec 2021

Mince pies aren’t a thing in Bulgaria. You can’t even buy the jars of mincemeat in the shops. Priyatelka is French and they’re also not a thing in France, so she had never tasted them until she came with me to England a couple of years ago, but...

Your words create atmosphere

Posted on Tue, 14 Dec 2021

Your words create atmosphere and bring your town's fair to life ... and they made me laugh.

As in the story of The Princess And The Pea?

My feelings entirely!

You can say you don't like any other time or day of the year and people will say 'Ah well. Never mind.' But we are not allowed to not like Christmas. 'Bah, humbug!' is the response we get from the revellers, which...
