Best Christmas present ever!

Finally they have done it!

In my opinion the best product this year also wins the prize for best Christmas present. Not that I tend to give out prizes for anything as I am not an accredited film-board or Father Christmas's personal auditor but for this I'm prepared to make an example.

To properly explain we have to go back a few years. In November 2001 Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone was released in cinemas. In December 2001 my 11 year old brother Richard first put on his Christmas list (amongst an endless list of Scooby Doo DVDs), "a Harry Potter wand". Over the course of the next few years we bought him toy wands and battling wands but none of these were what he wanted: none of these could do real magic.

Candy, Christmas Trees and Training Torture Part TWO

Part Two

After the christmas trees comes candy!

So, having trained hard and celebrated with a lot of cake and a moderate amount of wine, this week was fast becoming a success on all fronts. What could top the hard work and birthday excitement, after all? Nothing. But christmas trees and the most amount of sweets I have ever seen in anyone's house certainly added to the brilliance that was this week.

What shall I tell you first? Let's leave the edibles till last, shall we? I will give you a teaser picture to whet your appetite, though.
