Feeling festive

We've not been having a great time of it lately. In fact it would be fair to say that this has been a rubbish year for us. We've been struggling to feel any sort of enthusiasm for Christmas.

Until yesterday when a good friend of mine mentioned Mince Pies. Today the kitchen has been filled with the aroma of mixed fruits and I'm beginning to feel a little festive. So much so that I thought I'd try out a festive platter ready for a party tonight.

I think the Christmas mojo may have returned.

Strange to think that two years ago yesterday we actually had snow.
