Sunday was the big day that we had been looking forward to for two months! Dinner at the restaurant at Cawthorne! The weather conspired to make it difficult for us - snow and more snow as we neared our destination, and by the time we left my brother's house for the restaurant at 2pm, the roads were 4 inches deep with snow, and traffic was struggling on the untreated roads. Luckily my brother has a 4x4, which coped confidently with the conditions, and brought us home safely after a marvellous meal.
On Monday we brought Granny down from Barnsley ready to start the festive season,and yesterday, after nursery, we received a visit from the two sisters, who were really lively!
This morning felt very festive. After breakfast I used some Jus Rol puff pastry to make my own sausage rolls. Some of the sausagemeat I mixed with some Paxo sage and onion stuffing mix which I soaked yesterday. Then I made some courgette and boursin soup, using the recipe given to me after my husband's sister-in-law's 60th birthday, where we enjoyed the soup for the 1st time.
Tomorrow I must make some more mince pies - the first batch have lasted no time at all!
