Tis the Season

The decorations have been up in the shops for weeks and the temperature is rising day by day but it hasn’t really much felt like Christmas. Until today, when I cooked up a batch of my homemade mincemeat. All I need to do now is persuade SWMBO to whip up some pastry and we will be knee deep in festive mince pies.

Ding, dong the bells are ringing.

P.S. We appear to have skipped November in this diary, sorry about that.
