*cracked the Rumtopf at the weekend. Wow! I can heartily recommend it to anyone! I put in strawberries, cherries, raspberries, whitecurrants and halved Victoria plums, a couple of lb of sugar and a whole bottle of dark rum. It has made 3 litres. 1 litre is going to M-I-L, we served some to guests at a party last Sat and the rest is for us for Christmas :-)

YUM Moonbells, our turkey arrived today from the local farm, is now sitting in my fridge and is rather larger than anticipated!!!! Tomorrow it go's under the knife to get the crown!!!
Beef to be picked up from other farm saturday, rest of stuff is here..............hurray!!!!!!  Ready to rock n roll!

Am working on Christmas Day [yep, someone's got to do it!] so we will have a late lunch.  Am planning on Chestnut Bourginion Pie with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrot and swede mash and sprouts.  Will also be serving my homemade pud as per tradition for afters.  Hope everyone has a very happy time xx
