A continuation of 'How it all started'. Christmases were and are still now so very special. Each year amongst my gifts of books, clothes and toiletries I would find special gastronomic treats such as; chocolate from Switzerland and these below from Italy.
Somehow having such a very busy mother growing up wasn't so bad after all, as she would collect stocking fillers on her business travels.
I remember treats like these were not available in the UK back then. I would collect the very pretty tins as keepsakes.
I remember too having a beautiful parcel of Panforte and a box of Ricciardelli biscuits. I would savour them slowly as I knew that they were not easily available.
