I have grown away from elephant's tool and marmalade tarts a l'ecole and now have only my ownmade Christmas cake in the slimmest of slivers. Like my bread, it is made with Manx grown and milled flour, not sure if it is organic 'though. I do not even keep sugar other than for making it (so can only offer left over demerara for visitors' coffee - not than many expect to be served coffee here unless it supports a clear flame). I do eagerly look forward to the next visit of my future monarch - I can then put a match to McDonald's in the knowledge that there will be at least two suspects on the Island.

We do not have an Aldi but I am pleased to say they do deliver here FOC - well for 12 bottles it's FOC anyway.

I think the Heir's bog seat was a family joke and is in leather. My uncle did keep his old wooden one when Aunt Kate renewed his throne-top with a plastic one, as to it being organic I know not.
