It will soon be Christmas.

 What do you enjoy at this time of year?

Family, feel overfull, presents?

For some time now we have enjoyed making Christingles. It's very friendly of course and can be quite a production line. I just hope that the oranges and sweets/dried fruit are eaten. But it is a pleasure to help behind the scenes.

Another pleasure is the main Christmas meal with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding. I really enjoy brussel sprouts and would happily eat them at many more meals during the year. Even more so when it is someone else who has done all the cooking.

Tis the season...

 ...for coffee and hot chocolate flavourings.

I always like to try something, either one I have already had or a brand new flavour.

This year I tried a new one, Black Forest Hot Chocolate. I won't say where it was from as it was like drinking liquid sugar. Oh dear.
