This is a disaster. They're the only ones I eat.
Quality Street seem to be skimping on the strawberry and orange creams this year.
I've snaffled almost all of them from the office tin, and only had about four if each!

I had a bowl of soup in John Lewis in Cambridge yesterday, with the merest slivers of sourdough.
I think it was leek and potato, I'm not sure. Certainly it lacked seasoning.

Ham soup never looks very bonny … but the small of the ham hock is winding around my heart!
Just the ticket for a chilly midweek lunch

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.
