Truffles

Those of you who have a fondness for truffles may have been able to pick up a "bargain" the other day at a charity auction.

Five Italian white winter truffles, which weighed in total 1kg and included one which weighed 350g, were bought for a mere £11500. The original price estimate had been much in excess of that.

The money raised will go to the Seven Springs Foundation, a charity that supports children with special needs and their families.
