Thank you
We have received a gift box from our daughter as a "thank you". It was lovely gesture on her part and the box and it`s contents were super.

We were delighted to receive such a novel gift containing all our favorites and shall definitely be using your company ourselves in the future hoping that others will enjoy receiving their favourites as much as we have.

Many thanks

Marilyn

stunning hand made sweets!
We have a superb selection of handmade boiled sweets, made especially for us by a traditional sweetmaker in Scotland (he’s amazing)… the flavours are to die for, and the colours are as bright and intense as gemstones. We offer old favourites like Violet Buds and Rhubarb and Custard, and more modern ones like Iron Brew Humbugs. They make stunning gifts!
whatever happened to texan bars?

Remember the advert on TV? A Clint Eastwood style cowboy in a spot of bother, captured by some sombrero wearing outlaws. One asks the cowboy, "A last request gringo?"

The cowboy asks for a Texan bar. He chews on it laconically (love that word!) and it takes him so long to eat it that the baddies fall asleep and he escapes!

texan bars

"Texan... sure is a mighty chew."

Texans made a very brief, limited edition re-appearance in 2005 but we fear they have now gone for good.
