Any one seen my camel?

Our first guests for Christmas arrive tomorrow, so today has been packed full of the preparatory chores.  Its actually been much more fun than it sounds.  We bought Jamie's latest recipe book recently (we must be in good company, looking at the list of best selling non-fiction books), and this evening I tried his recipe for spaghetti carbonara - and very tasty it was too. :-)

Cathy has been making gluten free chocolate brownies for Jess, while I have made a walnut and dried fruit loaf to make the most of the Christmas stilton.   My mouth is watering already....
