Ooooh! Rollers! I forgot about that. Oh lunch of bread and rilletes. Forget about cholesterol the flavour is worth dying a few years earlier for.

It has been a long time since I last did it, but I used to collect especially attractive pebbles from locations i visited and give them as gifts on returning home. They have to be attractive to be worth giving, with flashes of mica or hints of fossils or something like that. And instead of giving something from a place, you actually give a bit of the place itself. "Here is a bit of Brittany I collected on my travels..." I remember giving a keen cyclist a pebble collected on the Col del la Croix de Fer.

And this was reviewed in the ST last week:

Gets a good review - though you'll have to enter some details and be pestered by The Times to read it.
