Today, from baratron, we received the kind of care package that makes you go all teary when you open it. It contained food. And because it came from baratron I didn't even need to read the packets - none of them. And there were a lot of packets.

There are biscuits, and cereal bars, and chocolate, and fruit, and chocolate biscuits, and fruity cereal bars, and bars that are really flapjacks, and I didn't have to read a single packet, and particularly I didn't have to read a single packet while hanging on to a toddler with one hand and supporting the baby in the sling with the other while I bent down to reach the shelves, and I am so, so happy.

Thank you.

No really, baratron, thank you. This is incredible. I owe you for this. We all do. This is wonderful.

Wonderful.

This is fabulous.

It reminds me of one of my best ever Christmas presents, which was a food hamper with everything picked for me, and home made peppermint creams presented nicely. Made just for me.

I'm glad you like it! Did the note on the front help?

Two of the packets of cereal bars have one bar removed, because I wanted to try them for myself ;) Everything is dairy-free and free of soy protein, though a few of the bars contain soya lecithin - but almost everything does these days, and I didn't think that was a problem for you.

I was in the baby bit of Boots the other day buying face cream, and saw some cereal bars that are formulated to be made of entirely natural ingredients while still being tasty for small people. The dairy-free ones were chocolate & raisin and some sort of mixed fruit, both also wheat-free on an oaty base. I might pick some of those up and send them to you for Linnea to try. I'm not sure whether they'd also be nice for adults' palates, the packaging wasn't exactly clear on that ;)
