What a kind offer! I'll be happy to reciprocate with something from the
wilds of California :-) If you feel up to tucking in a packet of wine
gums, I'll be eternally grateful. Can't get em here. I hoarded two
packets for so long, when I checked em last week, they were well past sell
by. I ate em anyway, both of them. Can't waste wine gums!!! I'll send
you an email and we can talk. By the by, I've spent a fair old bit of
time in Britain over the last ten years, although I don't believe we made
it down to Wiltshire -- must be one of the only areas of the isle I've not
visited ... will have to remedy that!
