Fantastic Christmas Ideas By Margaret Graham

It will soon be time for putting up the tree. For a while all looks great, and then the needles begin to fall – but not any more, so what’s the answer?

Frost loves the new Lechuza self-watering planters are the perfect answer, with easy instructions. It leaves extra space for presents under the tree. A tree which still still looks luxuriant even when twelth night arrives, and it all comes to an end.

Fantastic Christmas Ideas By Margaret Graham1

And the self-watering planters are not just for the tree, but they are easy to use for any plants, indoor and outdoor.

A Signature change for Grants Whisky

Grants Signature - with the blue label - with the original

Grants Signature – with the blue label – with the original

Grants – the whisky people – have just produced a new line of whisky. Grants Signature whisky comes with a distinctive blue label. But more importantly, it has a pleasantly biscuity and caramel taste.

Grants is a blended whisky rather than a single malt – so none of those flavours of peat and heather that whiskey lovers like to go on about. But it is a very good blended whisky – crisp, clean and has none of that burnt after-taste that you often get with cheap drinks.

As a seasonal drink, Grants Signature makes a pleasant change from the original (with the red label). Oh, and it’s a great mixer. When there’s a touch of frost in the air, there’s nothing nicer than a good whisky with a splash of ginger wine on top – preferably consumed in front of an open fire. Grants Signature is ideally suited for this treatment.

Grants signature is £19 for 75cl at most supermarkets.

Dearest Margarita: An Edwardian Love Story in Postcards
dearestmaghertia

dearestmagheritabook

Smart and original. This is a great present with hours of fun to be had. In 1900, aged twenty and travelling from Havana to Europe, Margarita Johnson met and fell in love with the dashing gold prospector Charles Lumb. Her father disapproved, and after three years of secret postcards, the couple eloped to London. Cut out of her father’s will, Margarita was never welcomed again in Havana.

Margarita treasured her postcards from Charles, her family and friends, who wrote from England America and Europe. They remained with her until she died in 1959. Years later they were found by her granddaughter, tucked away in a cubby hole, and are here seen for the first time.

Dearest Margarita: An Edwardian Love Story in Postcards is available here.
