* A foot note....

Some friends  of mine (John Digween included)  have suggested I may be endorsing certain products on my blog. I agree,  and I also agree it is better to 'acquire' these products than it is to purchase them wherever possible. I'd like to add none of these products are tested on animals and Yankee Candle do not use tallow. I have hi-lighted these items as if anyone desires the best hot chocolate and the sweetest smelling scented candles, you 'acquire' these as opposed to pussyfooting about with the rest :0)
