Sweet Enough

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

I had my usually fortnightly chat which left me giggling. I will never think of Leith in the same way again!

I had a doctors appointment this afternoon - just a formality for my physio referral. While I was in the waiting room, a woman was having a coughing fit and an older woman asked her if a Fox’s glacier mint would help.

This got me thinking. My gran always had some sort of sweets in her bag. So does my mum. Does this happen at a certain age? Do you suddenly feel that Pan Drops are an essential item to carry at all times? Is it in the menopause handbook that you can get through it with a ready supply of chocolate limes? Will all my pockets be overflowing with hard boiled fruit sweets?

Anyway, thankfully the mint did help. Maybe there’s something in this dark sorcery!
