Many apologies for being away from Unmitigated England for so long. Hopefully normal service will be resumed from now on. To be going on with, how about this wonderful tin. I noticed it again at a dear friend's house a couple of weeks ago, and memories came back of often coveting it. "Don't even think about it" came the riposte as I stared at it again, wondering if it would fit in one of the capacious pockets of my poacher's coat. 'Delicious Beyond Description', as it says on the tin.

From the days long before the marriage with Rowntrees...what era do you think it is?
Mmm, that's a tough one Sue, but I would think early 1930s.
You can't beat a lovely old tin to brighten up a shelf. I covet a large 1930s Blue Bird toffee tin that lurks in my neighbour's shed, but my hints have fallen upon stony ground.
I had a Blue Bird toffee tin once. Perhaps it's the same one.
The father of a friend of mine had a tin for Babys Bottom tobacco that I was quite taken with. Glad to see you back safe and sound in Unmitigated England.
Thankyou Stephen, good to be back.
About bloody time. Keep it up.
