Christmas

And the day has finally arrived, and I have spent most of it in the kitchen. Yes, it's that time of year ? Time to make the Christmas Pudding ( well, in fact the ingredients made 4 ).

It's been more years than I can remember since I last made a Christmas Pudding, but with my trusty Jame Martin cook book, a suitable recipe was found. 

So now they sit in the kitchen cooling after 3 hours of steam, waiting to be wrapped until we get nearer the 25th, when they will be given a little "drink" as as near the big day.

We wish you a Merry Christmas......

Well, I have just been to the local supermarket and purchased the ingredients to make my Christmas pudding next week

Where have all the Children gone ?

So, as the weather forecast for this afternoon was heavy rain, my good lady and I decided to have a walk from Frinton Golf club, along the sea wall to Holland Haven nature reserve

It's a walk we have done many times before, but today it was made even more pleasant. It was 20C with a cool wind, but, as you can see to beach was empty.

It's nice to see the front packed with holiday makers and children. But it's even better for us locals on days like today.

So until the Summer of 2014, thanks to all the holiday makers, and see you all next year.
