Milly, your mum sounds like mine. In the street where we grew up, more than half the people would receive their Eid lunch, we should know bcos we never got to eat until we had done all the deliveries!

We also used to quake in our boots bcos the corner neighbour had a dog and we used o be scared of it, "you go, NO you go".

Most of the english folk absolutely loved the food, except for one old lady who continually got offended bcos she said she could perfectly afford to get her own food, but her sister loved it and kept asking for more.

Neighbours on the right are vegetarians, so we only give them fruit but not cooked food in case they aren't keen.

Neighbours on the left are eastern european, i haven't sent anything to them yet.

Indian lady on the other end of street used to send us a LOADED TRAY on diwali, home made gulab jamuns, pooris, fruit and some gujrati food stuff. Only found out later that some of it was that pooja food, they put in front of the bhagwan, and we r not allowed that... but it was delicious.

One must make a mark in this world, if I am remembered for anything, let it be cheese and crackers...
