Wotsits - buy Cheezels holes, just like them (only a bit smaller).
I've eaten two BIG packets since Saturday when I discovered them

My garden's that green (in fact it's greener) and has been since we arrived and we've never watered it 
I was very confused with Wimbledon. I turned on when they were on Centre Court and it took me ages to work out the partial roof had gone
I'll be even more confused next year

You must have autumnal colour where you are (if I'm thinking of the right person 
) We have round here, me and the girls were driving along a country road the other day and saw bare trees and stacks of crunchy brown and gold leaves on the floor. We had to park up and go and play in them And all the Poinsettias are looking amazing.
