Mince pies on boxing day

Jims back, Maddie, Eddie, New Kellys head

Random snaps from yesterday afternoon's mince pie extravaganza 
....our French friends have never had them and were polite, mostly. 

I'm ambivalent about mince pies; they were invented by the medieval Christians to check on the converso, the forcibly-converted Jews, to make them eat pork. Naturally I make them without suet or at least with vegetable suet but there is a taint.

Terrible photo of Kelly but the bunny ears are great :)



Lovely to have a relaxing post-xmas chatter with folk (what interesting and charming friends we have) and this morning, lo! There were two bottles of champagne on the letter box and two large apples on the doorstep. Being a fan of symbolic language you'd think I could work out who left them there but I can't.

Many thanks to them and would whoeveryouare care to pop round and drink them with us?
