... under the mistletoe.



Debrett's has issued advice on how to kiss under the mistletoe, to avoid the risk of spreading swine flu.

I'm not so sure about this no kissing advice. ( Where's the fun in that?) You can catch swine flu just being in the same room/aeroplane as someone who has it- so going to a party in any enclosed space is risky if you're worried about swine-flu.
My take is this. If you're gonna get swine-flu, you're gonna get it and it may or may not make you quite ill. So, do you say , I'm just not going out and I'm not seeing anyone, or do you say, well, If I'm lucky enough to get caught under the mistletoe by someone who I'd kiss, then I'm probably lucky enough to get away with making the most of it with a full on tilt your head baby, lingering, lip-smacking, tongue-tangling frenchy.....

There's lots of it about this year, apparently. A good crop - growers might not be happy cos they're only getting £5-£10 per "lot" compared to £18-£25 last year, but oscularists will be overjoyed! Holly, on the other hand, is scarce - the birds have eaten all the berries - this is all that's left

I've not been caught under the mistletoe yet.

Dorchester is full of Holly, it's growing everywhere- even in our garden, although there's no berries on ours in the garden but we do have lots of firethorn also and that has great berries... so it's a case of mix 'n' match, holly with firethorn berries
