  1. Well done! I hope there isn't too much left on that list of yours...?

  2. The only place I could track down red cherries (natural ones do NOT work for Rudolph noses) was our local dusty newspaper shop. I never understood the green cherries but bright red ones are undeniably festive - and really, glace cherries are so far removed from a natural product that I'm not sure the colouring made them much less healthy ;-)
