Ideal gifts for the middle aged
Once I did receive a selection of Fortum and Mason Famous teas - here’s a photo of the packet beside a very nice cuppa in my Care 4 Calais mug. Other items in the poem below, may or may not be on my wish list.
The conversation started when my friend told me about buying binoculars for her husband’s birthday. She is the same friend who bought my the fancy tea and she’s partial to a jar of National Trust marmalade
Other things come from my imagination but I had fun finding things that rhymed.
