The recipe to make a parmo ;-)
or maybe something with the transporter bridge on it

I could also send a selection of Wensleydale Cheeses or Brymor Ice cream.

Both have gorgeous flavours,Yummy

Mine would have to be a Bedfordshire Clanger and some Brussel sprouts. Both very local to me

A bottle of HP sauce but sadly it's no longer made in Birmingham, so perhaps some Balti spices would be a good representation of the area.

good question!


some chocolates from a local chocolatier

Maple syrup ............. even though that is really from Eastern Canada, our winters aren't cold enough

West Coast First Nations art ................ eg, ceramic trivet with a First Nations design on it

Packet or 2 of wild-caught smoked sockeye salmon ................ they are smoked, packaged in foil packets, then steamed, and are shelf stable for years. So no problem posting them overseas :-)

That would be as hard as trying to send as Selsey crab.

There are a couple of lavender farms within striking distance of here. I love lavender but am never sure if others do so I would probably not send that unless I had sussed them out a bit.

Loch Fyne oysters! :-) :-)

Tom Jones LP

from here? A portion of Stilton cheese is the most local i think of. at least it wont deteriorate in the post........

there ARE firms that will send foodstuffs( frozen) through the post, If I was recieving, some real Brockvurst

Thanks Sharron
He is fine .

Afraid the position he was in he had to do a lot for himself. Did think I may have to ring for help but with a bit of maneuvering he managed to get himself in a position where we could both hoist him up into his armchair.

They are such a dead weight though when they fall and cant help themselves

How would I do that then Malcolm?

Hope your husband is alright Shirley, and your back!

A proper haggis from a top class Scottish butcher, I just love it when they phone or e-mail me - asking what they do with it :-D

I would send wine we have a vineyard about 8 miles away or failing that Staffordshire Oatcakes - but they are an acquired tase

How about a jar of Honey ?

From Great Yarmouth....................Kippers :-D,

or maybe a stick of rock ;-)

Sarron, isn't there a farm that makes ice cream near you? You could send them some

Anything sold by the local tourist bureau with a picture of the Pocahontas statue on it, perhaps a pen, key or bookmark.

Further afield, possibly a selection of beers brewed by Shepherd Neame or from a micro brewery, or wine from a vineyard about 5 miles away (Yes, really :-D)
If they are teatotal, then some apple juice from one of the many fruit orchards.....which is also made into Cider.

Sorry had a bit of a crisis/ Went downstairs to find hubby had fallen. he had his music so loud I couldn't have heard him call out.

Devils own job getting him up into a chair he is such a dead weight when he is down .

He is now sleeping in his armchair . Not feeling that good today anyway after his 24hour bug over Xmas and now he is fluey He stayed in bed till I had the lunch ready .

I would have to send Yorkshire Tea or Yorkshire Honey,but sent Special Delivery so they got there in perfect condition..

Northumberland homemade goodies - Chainbridge honey, Alnwick Rum, Lindisfarne Mead and spreads with it mixed in, Craster kippers not very postable though .............
