Signs And Symptoms Of Homesickness’ness

It feels like Nigel has been away from home for an absolute age, so goodness knows how it must feel to him, but yesterday he admitted that he was finally feeling the beckoning of a distant homeland and a gentle tug on his heartstrings……..

……. and, believe it or not, it was a humble box of confectionary that started this heartfelt yearning.

Whoopers may be original “malted milk ball” and Nigel has enjoyed their pleasures many times over the past few weeks, but, Maltesers they are not ….. and as he finished the last box that he had kept in wardrobe, his heart and mind were returned to Evesham, thinking of all those cosy Saturday and Sunday nights in, with us all snuggled up on the sofa, watching X Factor or Antiques Roadshow and, as is our want, passing round the obligatory box of Maltesers.

Maltesers has a much better ring to it than Whoppers.
