Boxing Day

Warkworth, Northumbria.
Wild and windy. Somewhat bracing.

It must be Christmas time

Peace on earth and good will to all (wo)men...

Hope Father Christmas is good to you!

My First Christmas Cake

One fruity and boozy Christmas cake, baked, fed, marzipan-ed, iced and be-ribboned by my own fair hand.

Oh alright, I cheated with a Delia pre-weighed mix... And on the icing... But hey. I made this.

Quite possibly the best Christmas song ever?

Making a list and checking it twice

Waxing festive around the house.

Well, it's far too cold to go out, and puss has absolutely the right idea ...
