The more people I meet, the more I love my animals!
Not exactly everything that I have brought back from England but some of the things I have also asked for
Yorkshire tea, cornflour (hoping not to be stopped by customs for carrying suspicious white poweder substances), vegemite, white dishcloths, face flannels (amazing that Denmark and Latvia seem to have them the size of small hand towels), and in a parcel from my mother are insect repellents without DEET, a dutch hoe (without handle), insect repellent clothing and some anti-wart cream.
Some of the things we bring back are because we are not yet able to read the labels sufficiently to be able to trust what we are buying and some because the alternatives are just not quite the same, like potato starch or white flour just doen't make custard like cornflour does.
Yes all sounds familiar. Strangely, a dutch hoe without handle is on my next extensive list. A pitch fork and potato fork without handles are listed along with Avon SSS, suet,HP sauce, pectin ( I have tried making my own but cannot get tart enough apples) animal medicines because I do not trust the vets here.
The more people I meet, the more I love my animals!
