You might be surprised to learn that I am a little lost for words facing the exquisite beauty that is the<br />

Ouse Valley range. Julian and her [sic] team have been customers for a few years now, based just over<br />

the downs at Plumpton Green, and they have been picking up awards left, right, and centre for their<br />

hand made delights. The two products below, made only of the named fruits, sugar and spices, are a<br />

pellucid delight - the sliced cranberries (for instance) suspended magically in a crystal clear jelly. Don't<br />

eat it - put it on the window sill and let the light pour through. It's like stepping into Sainte Chappelle on a<br />

sunny day.<br />

I'll let you eat these two - Christmas morning breakfast, with wholemeal toast and a snowball.<br />

"Half of what I say is meaningless/But I say it just to reach you, Julian"<br />

May I merely point you in the direction of their website above - there are pictures and descriptions and<br />

some stunning testimonials ("Mum just tasted your Companion for Duck and Poultry and has gone into<br />

orbit") and you can buy their whole range direct as far as I know - I don't mind, I just want to see them<br />

out there. I think it's safe to say, though, that any Christmas display without one of these products is<br />

missing something. It is the part that used to be call: soul.<br />

OK, let’s get the glories of Belgium out of the way first (I know you want me to): Georges Simenon<br />

(though not Paul, who’s from Brixton), Hergé & Tintin, the Smurfs, Pepin the Short, Plastic Bertrand,<br />

Jacques Brel, Adolphe Sax – inventor of the saxophone, Jacques Tits – mathematician, Thierry Boutsen,<br />

Eddy Merckx (The Cannibal), Emiel Puttemans, René Magritte, The Singing Nun, Arthus from Tohi.<br />

Right then, let’s get on to the goods: Plush are primarily non-organic (with the exception of the Belgian<br />

Chocolate Caramels) but specialise in Fair Trade ingredients in thoughtful enviropackaging. All the<br />

products carry the Fair Trade Mark and the packaging is minimal and recyclable (and beautiful). Some<br />

of the lines are using cutting-edge Plantic trays made from non-GM corn starch which are fully<br />

compostable. And as for the chocolate: it combines the history, credentials and expertise of Belgian<br />

chocolate know-how with the quality, love and attention of artisanal English hand-made chocolate<br />

making to produce the ideal gift.<br />

Back from Qi we have their seasonal organic classic White Christmas Tea Bags, though this year with a<br />

redesign. As always the product is organic white tea, prepared in the traditional way from fresh young<br />

leaves and buds rich in antioxidants, blended with an abundance of Christmassy ingredients -<br />

cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and orange - to produce Christmas in a cup. The square , silver, red and<br />

white caddy looks beautiful and would make a good stocking-filler (for adults!). As Lindsay said some<br />

years ago: Bing Crosby dreamed - Qi delivered.<br />
