December 22nd

christmas lights
Well what a horrible weather day we had here - the fog didn't lift all day and it was very very cold. We popped out this morning to wander around the market and Waitrose...for some reason Owen was being a right 'Kevin'....so didn't spend long out!



We got home and made Kate's recipe for the biscuits and made mince pies. The biggest cheat of all I bought premade pastry (never done that before)...but was nice a quick and everything had a handmade look about it! Wandered out the back and found some holly bushes so thought I would dress up the picture....can honestly say we never went out the door again brrrrrrr





I put a fat ball out for the birds yesterday - it normally takes them a few days to find it - but they were queueing up for it already today...sorry couldn't clear the fog for the photos! will have to take some more on a bright sunny day

Question 22 for the 22nd December.....
All the answers are somewhere on the site including the gallery and the forum, and these are the only accepted right answers.


"Who are putting the FUN into branston pickle?"

Once you have found the answer go to the advent calendar to submit your answer....it can only be entered on the 22nd December.

Just to let you know I may not announce the winner until just after Christmas I hope that is OK
