Snow

Louis's Christmas party at nursery was a great excuse to cook up another batch of mince pies which were very well received even by the children who are notoriously sceptical about the little pies.

As you know, the house was supposed to be filled with hungry relatives this weekend but due to the incredible snow fall they couldn't make it and so the five of us have been slowly devouring everything I made last week including my Christmas cake which if I say so myself is absolutely delicious.

I have already distributed seven pieces to various neighbours but it hasn't even been dented. I am a bit worried that I will end up eating most of it and delicious as it is this would not be good. I think I will have to offer a piece to everyone who comes to the door as a festive offering!

Matthew and I are off out tonight to what should of been our family Christmas meal, it will be lovely to enjoy somebody else's cooking for a change but sad not to be sharing it with those we love.
