Dear Reader,
"Never, I repeat, never, give gloves as a gift, or you will quarrel and fall out."
Old wives tale, courtesy of my Grandmother (Dearly Departed)
Footnote(6 hours later):-
I have just had a shocking revelation. I now recall that Grandmother (not so dearly departed at present) once sent me a pair of mittens. Not only that, but they were mittens knitted by her very own treacherous hand!!!

Just had a long conversation with mother about said mittens.
ReplyDeleteShe reassured me that mittens didn't count and that gloves were a different kettle of fish altogether.
Now slightly mollified, I am off to read my latest Romantic novel accompanied by a cup of tea and a ginger nut.
