The day of the Ball - and the start of the celebrations

• "This weekend sees the start of 10 days of mistletoe celebrations in Tenbury Wells, Britain's "mistletoe capital" and the centre of the UK trade. There's today's Grand Mistletoe Ball, the first of the traditional mistletoe and holly wholesale auctions (November 29) and the Mistletoe Festival. Plus visits from druids of the Mistletoe Foundation."

A quote from today's Guardian - ok, from my letter published today in the Guardian. A good letter I thought (natch), covering all the important points. They deleted my plug for online sales - but don't worry you can get to that site direct by clicking here.
