Publication date for April's Lace is 30th April, ie yesterday, so given the occasional vagaries of the postal system I don't count it as late yet (others might disagree!). You should get it within the next day or so, but if you haven't received it by 10th May either email or phone The Hollies

S'mores are a camping/bonfire sort of treat, at least that's how I remember them! You roast a marshmallow over a fire, until its all nice and gooey and toasty and then you sandwich it and a bit of chocolate between two graham crackers and enjoy. Sugar rush extraordinaire. :) Take care, Heather
