There is a lot of shredded carrots with a cold cooked meat institute with a seasoned coating and tomato sauce.
It was a bit soggy and sticky on the outside.

This cost £3.75.
A strawberry smoothie in a biel with 3 raspberries, dried coconut and granola on top.
The smoothie is too liquidy for the bowl as the top is a bit loosee and the too high for what you get.

This romantic drama Netflix film stars Rob Lowe and Kirsten Davis.
A woman whose husband has just left her goes on her second honeymoon to Africa alone. When she gets there, she meets a man who is a pilot of small tour planes. When they discover an orphaned elephant, she ends up staying at an elephant sanctuary where the pilot lives to nurse the elephant back to health.

This is the latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s comedy novel of manners and romance.
This stars Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role, Johnny Flynn as Knightly, Bill Nighy as Mr Woodhouse, Mia Goth as Harriett Smith, Miranda Hart as Miss Bates, Josh O’Connor as Mr Elton, Calum Turner as Frank Weston, Rupert Graves as Mr Weston and Gemma Whelan as Mrs Weston.
In particular, Bill Nighy is excellent as Emma’s overly anxious widowed father, and Miranda Hart is the best Miss Bates I have seen. She is both incredibly funny and endearing as the eccentric spinster. In the Box Hill scene, the whole cinema audibly gasped and booed/ooed and was definitely Team Miss Bates.
Emma has never been my favourite Austen story (joint second with Pride and Prejudice, behind Sense & Sensibility), but this film was one of the funniest Austen adaptations I have seen.

I saw a free preview of this film.
It is a funny comedy starring Steve Coogan, Isla Fisher and David Mitchell, with cameos including Stephen Fry and Caroline Flack.
It makes fun if capitalism, bosses that exploit their workers and tax exiles.
It may or may not be based on things that people like Philip Green and Rupert Murdoch have done, based on some of the jokes and scenes – except about getting a comeuppance.

This cost £1.70. It is one of the cheaper Iptions to buy.
It isn’t really a croissant; it is more of a flaky pastry wrap with a mixed berry jam filling and sugar chunks on top.

This cost £2.35.
This is named after Pret’s CEO.
It consists of vanilla cream, passion fruit curd, set white chocolate ganache and 3 little merangues on top.
For the price, it is a very small helping passion fruit pavlova and it had a strange aftertaste.

This cost £5.25.
It has brown rice, beetroot chunks, a boiled egg cut in half, sliced cucumbers, shredded radish, pickled red onion, spinach, seeds and a beetroot hummus.
For me there was dar too much beetroot included, included cucumber was refreshing.

This is the DVD of the first TV series from Mischief Theatre Company. It includes 6 episodes which are each just under 30 minutes.
Every episode is hilarious, with many laugh out loud moments in each mini-farce. These are set in the universe of the Cornely Dramatic Society, and continuing in-jokes from some of their earlier productions.
The episodes are:
Spirit of Christmas – Set at Christmas where a girl needs help believing in the magic of Christmas.
The Pilot (not The Pilot) – Set in WW2 about pilots.
A Trial to Watch – A courtroom drama.
The Lodge – A thriller about a spooky haunted house
Harper’s Locket – A costume drama.
90 Degrees – Family dama set in the deep south with some sets at 90 degrees to each other.
Hopefully, there will be many more episodes to come and DVDs of their other productions.

This bag cost £4 and is aimed at everyone. This particular bag contained a box of Christmas themed wine gums, a microphone shaped Christmas bauble, a bag of tiny bells, a pair of small children’s socks, a small lockable diary, pack of gift tags and a metal mouth shaped bookmark.
I estimate the value of the contents at about £8.
