CHARLIEWhen RAF search and rescue pilot Matt Prosser deployed to the Falkland Islands, he packed his notepad and sketchbook and created an enchanting book, Charlie and the Dragon, so he could give something special to his nephew.

He was persuaded to publish his rhyming story about Charlie, a boy with flaming red hair who wakes to find a small dragon called Ember in his sock drawer. She is crying because she became lost in bad weather and can’t find her mum, so the pair set off into the countryside to get Ember home. Order your copy at www.redhairbooks.co.uk

Giles Mitchell, one of the founders and the son of a Royal Engineer, says the Snackorium offers a taste of home: “I remember moving around frequently as I was growing up, mostly on overseas postings. I always missed some good British food.”

Snacks change every month and include both classics and surprises such as Isle of Wight Biltong, Clearly Scrumptious dried golden berries and Banoffee Pie chocolate truffle. Order your Snackorium, priced from £9.99, at www.ourhonestfoods.com
