2011 goes up in flames
NYE party (It’s ok though, we had lots of food and drink indoors first – it wasn’t all about fire)
There’s something atavistic about fire at the turn of the year though isn’t there. Light in the dark, warmth in the cold, wishes in the sparks and promises glowing in the embers.
Especially when you’re stuffed with curry and slow cooked lamb and two kinds of rice and salad and potatoes and most of a bottle (really? Oh dear!) of wine. It was lucky no one discovered the secret ingredient in the lamb till I was freezing away the left-overs this morning. A beautifully tender wooden spoon nestled among the veg.

Thank you rosie and the same to you.
We did the giblets a couple of years ago Mel.
You don’t think it was a bit much then, all that fire and stuff? And how long is it to Halloween now?
Happy 2012 : )
