Advantages: sugarfree, lasting flavours, great taste Disadvantages: packaging could be smaller...but thats being picky.
I love chewing gum, I chew it quite alot, mostly if i'm going out or if i'm at work (although i'm not supposed to, oh well). I just love the feel of it in my mouth and the flavours.
I was browing round my local supermarket a while ago when i came across the Trident Soft Tropical Twist, i'd had Trident gum before so knew it was a good product, but i'd never seen the Tropical Twist verison. I love everything tropical, whether it's juice or yoghurt, so i decided to give it a go. Turns out I liked it and have been having it ever since.
Trident is actually made by Cadburys Trebour Basset, which has been round for ages now, so they pretty much know what they're doing when it comes to sweet treats.
*PACKAGING*
The gum comes in a pack of 14 strips. The packaging is a thin cardboard which you open up, revealing 2 'shelves' of 7 strips ...
Advantages: Great conservation centre, especially for otters. Disadvantages: You have to like otters, and hilly walks, to fully appreciate it.
*** Our Discovery of this Excellent Centre ***
I have had a few holidays in the Peak District, but despite the Chestnut Centre being well advertised in the area, I was in no hurry to visit it. This is because when I had seen otters in captivity before, in various locations, they were only active briefly at feeding time and their enclosures stank of fish.
Then Morrisons gave us some Buy One Get One Free vouchers for days out, as a reward for shopping there, so me and hubby decided we would use one at the Chestnut Centre.
We were pleasantly surprised at the lovely time we had there!
*** The Estate and Wildlife ***
The Chestnut Centre is in an area of outstandingly beautiful countryside which is specially protected so that wild creatures and plants can live in safety. Sadly the picturesque hilly landscape that the centre ...
Advantages: Wild and wonderful Disadvantages: Far from the beaten track
Gavin Maxwell, author of ?Ring of Bright Water?, and of course ?The Otter?s Tale?, died in September 1969. Eighteen months earlier, his house, which he called Camusfearna, and had been home to the writer and his otters for so long, was destroyed by fire. Now, more than three decades later, the Bright Water landscape has dramatically altered.
I sought out the real-life location of Maxwell?s home, with the help of an OS map and a pair of well-worn boots. Herewith my rambling thoughts.
Someone who cared had placed a bunch of wild bluebells on Edal?s memorial plaque. They were wilting now, in the midday summer sun. But they had lost none of their poignancy.
The old rowan tree, too, has died. But it still stands, stark and lifeless against the black-green of the encroaching conifer plantation.
Scrambling down the precarious ...
