Some blame it on the economic downturn, some say it's got something to do with all the 30 & 40 somethings (boom babies so we are!!) hankering back to the past... I say, it's GREAT!!  Who would say no to a bit of Spandau Ballet second time around, Tony Hadley giving it some while you're eating your toast in the morning or crawling round the North Circular to work.  Gary Barlow making you feel twenty five again... or Kajagoogoo making you regret it all again !!! What ever the reason the 80's ( & a bit of the 90's) are BACK!!!!!  I'm all for reliving my well spent youth... I was such a good sort during my formative years ... now staring 41 right in the face I'm ready to 'rock & bacon roll'!!!!

Remember all the funny things you used to have around at Christmas time when 'we' were growing up?  My Aunt & my Mum always made a big ding dong about having marzipan fruits in the house come the 20th of December.  Never saw them at any other time of year, but just the thought of them now takes me straight back to Christmases gone by!  In the spirit of nostalgia & yuletide cheer our lovely Anna, marzipan technician to the stars has created a little selection box of almond scented fruits which have Christmas written all over them.  They look so dinky & cute & perfect, you just want to sink your teeth into them.  All wrapped up in a little sparkly gold box with a pretty ribbon... I'm loving them so much I'm going give them as presents to all my favourite people.. especially my Mum & my Aunt!
