Merry Christmas to all our readers.

Merry Christmas

Lynn’s home-made wreath features Christmas Box (Sarcococca confusa), holly and the trimmings off the bottom of the Christmas tree.

Dinner will feature many of our own vegetables – roast potatoes and parsnips (the former sitting under the duck to soak up the fat), steamed sprouts and carrots and stir-fried beetroot with red cabbage.  No photos of the vegetables, as getting on with the cooking is today’s priority.
