George came home last night for reading week (until Wednesday). It's great having her home and hearing about her time at Uni.
Spent the day baking and collecting kindling wood for the fire. Made - loaf of pot bread (lovely ham sandwiches for lunch), Christmas cake, christmas mincemeat, apple tart (Michel Roux recipe - too much salt), two banana loafs and a cottage pie for dinner. The bottle of Armagnac we bought yesterday is looking a bit sad. Also went down to butchers and got 5kg stewing steak, some kidneys, brace of pheasants and some ham.
Watched Men in Black in front of the fire - cosy!
