Getting there

I'm still buying presents, the decorations are still in the loft but the cards have now been posted, we have a copy of the festive edition of the Radio Times and a Christmas tree is waiting patiently in its netting outside the kitchen door.

We also have mince pies. They taste rather better than they look. So they should. Ten ounces of butter went into that pastry. 

And some actually made it to the freezer.
