Not only has it been a hectic week in general I have been fairly busy at work...I attended a brilliant Christmas Fair and had a great day, the sun was out, there were donkey rides, a fairground, Santa's grotto, an ice rink and fabulous selection of Christmas gifts and cakes for sale in the heated Marquee and good fun was had by all......here are some of my photos....
Now we are well and truly into the cold winter days my slow cooker is on a lot....it is so lovely to pop something in with very little prep in the morning and then have a lovely hot meal later, especially on an evening when we are not all eating together.....
Chunky warming sup with homemade crusty bread
Chicken with ginger and garlic and peppers and coconut milk with loads of rice and naan bread
Meatballs with big bowls of steaming spaghetti
This....
turning into this......
And, why not, it is Christmas after all............
