Jelly can be whipped into something marvellous
The pudding described by Elaine Joyce as “whipped evaporated milk combined with jelly, then set to create a poor man’s mousse” (Letters, 23 December) is called “jelly fluff” by my wife, who comes from the north-east of Scotland. The Admiral Inn in Findochty once advertised a World Jelly Fluff Championship. And although we didn’t enter this, my wife’s addition of raspberries elevates it to a really great dessert that is frequently enjoyed by our family.

• I have avoided a walk in the countryside for many years, fearing I would encounter a “traditional” hunt in progress. But the possibility of coming across Nigel Farage in attendance would just be too much for me (The real test for Nigel Farage will be if donors follow foot soldiers to Reform, 26 December).

• The photograph of the Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, at a Boxing Day hunt is bad enough, but standing there with beer in a plastic glass? Unacceptable.

• A Labour veteran may have trouble in Donald Trump’s Washington, but a twice disgraced former minister should fit right in (High profile, high risk: could Mandelson help tame Donald Trump?, 20 December).

• “We’ve forgotten what good sex is about,” says the Rivals actor Katherine Parkinson in her interview (25 December). Thank you. I’m 83, and delighted to hear I’m not alone.

• I was going to read Marion Thain’s article (Are young people’s attention spans really shrinking? It’s more complex than you might think, 26 December), but I got distracted.
