Bittersweet

What do you give the man who has everything?  Top of his birthday list is always ‘lemon meringue pie’ and, along with several other of his female friends, I’ve usually obliged.  Over the years, irregular get togethers meant  inventive application, and Royal Mail has served us well with an LMP DIY kit, a box of meringues, a lemon (in a jiffy bag, of course), and a ransom note.  But with my renewed ‘zest’ for knitting, I hope I ‘pipped’ the rest to the post with this year’s offering.

Taking the pith?
