Our annual mulled wine walk with Clare and boy did it get me into the Christmas spirit

Matt testing to see if he had whipped the meringue enough

I found roquito peppers today which I love

TLC needed today and so I turned to our trusty master stock

Matt is 15

Leftover cheats stew pies, delicious and easy

Christmas is a really busy time of the year that needs military planning

Christmas spiced beef stew has left the wonderful smell of Christmas through the whole house

Pink fleshed apples for my beautiful Christmas chutney

Today the IT Cooking Club made my malva pudding cupcakes

Malva pudding cupcakes, the taste of malva pudding in a little cupcake

Prawn tikka masala and naan bread, yum!

I have decided to make my own Christmas chutney this year as nothing is singing out to me

Today we finished off decorating the house

Christmas has begun
