Thorntons made too many Easter eggs this year. So, to save them all going to waste they were melted back down and turned into chocolate drops and loaded into giant plastic sacks.
These were then marketed to farmers for fattening up their beef cattle. The chocolate drops are much, much cheaper than grain to buy at the moment, and so one of our tutors brought several sacks (white  and milk ) for her bullocks. The animals in question apparently took a mouthful each, chewed briefly, and then spat the back out.
So in the campus office this morning sit two large sacks, and loads of small plastic bags for people to help themselves to the remains of the cattle’s supper. At some point this weekend I’ll be making raspberry and white muffins.  We’ll eat almost anything out here in the sticks.

 After the feeding frenzy that was going on the main office, I doubt there'll be much left. Tutors have been seen marching past my windows chomping away.
However, I'll send a  up with anything that I do find.

I have been keeping my head well below the parapet, I’ve not retreated fully into the bunker just yet – I’m still stocking up on supplies.
As an aside, B and I may be coming up for the Hull meet in July. It coincides with his Dad’s birthday and the end of term. Are you going this year? I know you have in the past.
Yes, I'm going to be there!
It would be great to meet up with you again!

* <waves> back to Icky *
It'll have to be a white 'cos all the milk has gone.
2legs, I'll bet almost anything that there isn't any left now. I was very lucky to get a tip off about useless cattle feed when I did!
