The pink Quality Street tin on the right also brings back memories, with it’s Victorian images and chocolates double wrapped in foil and cellophane. I used to try and smooth the foil out as flat as possible, hopefully without a single crease and I used to have fun experimenting with the cellophane in front of a camera lens ;-)

So many Christmas memories unfold and roll back into one happy memory. Family, friends, fun, laughter, the occasional tear, frost, snow, school concerts, singing at Ironbridge on Christmas Eve; which reminds me we did the same in the local pubs, hospitals and old peoples homes. So many happy faces over the years…

They even remind me of the class bully at junior school and my inadvertent comment which much later led to the sharing of chocolates.

All those years ago I didn’t appreciate how many memories a box of Mackintosh’s Weekend could hold locked up inside…
