I painted a pork pie Posted Monday, 9th of January

One thing was true however, It certainly tasted as good as it looked and soon disappeared along with a comparable jar of piccalilli.

The invitations have been written and sent, all the bills have been paid, the labels have been produced and trimmed out. [...]
