Supplies from home

Off to PDX in a little while to collect visitors from the mother land.

They are bringing among other goodies McVites chocolate digestive biccies. Be nice to see the visitors as well.

I always 'request' my daughters bring Branston Pickle, Fruity sauce, Rowntrees' fruit gums, Mr Kiplings cherry bakewells and then Revels, Licorice Allsorts, Cadburys chocolate and British magazines like Hello and Reveal. They don't have any room left for clothes or make up for themselves.

I tell them clothes are over rated anyway.....

Strict rationing is enforced one chocolate digestive at a time.

Yes but at a price which when withdrawal symptoms get bad enough I pay.

This is why the missus is downing Walls sausages like there's no tomorrow, while she has plentiful supply.

I'm off to London in two weeks to stay with my son. We asked him if there's anything he wants me to bring over from the States... he looked a little puzzled and politely declined..

Our Jewel Osco has an english section, but its not very big.

If he's low on candle wax he could ask you to bring over some chocolate.
