Friday again!

Goodness me, where did that week go? The diary looked quite empty this time last week, but filled up before we realised. There was a quick trip to Norwich (always a pleasure 😉 ), a funeral too which was very sad, but a birthday lifted the spirits. A visit from a young friend and a chance encounter with two ex-pupils lit up the mid-week. It’s always a joy to catch up with people I knew as young children, many years ago, and see them all grown up with interesting jobs and tales to tell. Christmas jumpers had to be dug out from the back of the wardrobe and more mince pies were needed. The beleagured shopkeepers look forward to their Cake Friday treats so extras were made in order to keep plenty in the freezer for visiting family, one of whom will only eat my home made mince pies. If I say it myself, they really are the best – you can’t beat home made mincemeat and orange dessert pastry. The recipe is on the website if you’re looking for inspiration. So, menus are written and turkey orders are to be collected – the hunter-gatherer is taking charge of that. He’s done a sterling job this week with a very comprehensive list, coming home with everything crossed off. Brilliant. Good man. So I hope you are looking forward to enjoying Christmas in your own way and I wish you a very happy Christmas and a healthy New Year. ❤
