Yes I know...
...it has been a long time.
Over the past weeks and months, my liqs store has gradually been depleted down to the last, sad piece: almost flavourless by now and soft from the ambient humidity.
A desperate hunt around my room has unearthed the odd fossilised piece (the one I found on the windowsill—underneath a stack of papers—was truly inedible) but I was almost out.
And then a care package arrived, from my sis.

Full of liquorice :)

Thanks, Sis!
