I was a mightily pissed off child the first time I was offered a mince pie at Chirstmas, only to bite into the thing and find that some funny fecker had put fruit in it and not meat.

Back in the Medieval/Renaissance period mince pies did actually have meat in them, it wasn’t seen as odd to have meat, spices and preserved fruits in a pie. I’ve eaten medieval recipes and proper mince pies/Great Pies are fantastic!

My Uncle Billy used to make pennies appear from behind my ear by saying ‘Abracadabra!’ I thought it was real magic till I was about 10.

I used to think the future was for old people..

I will never forget my shock at still being alive to see my 18th birthday
