I mentioned before that we bought a large leg of pork for Xmas dinner - it weighed in at 6.3kg / 14lbs and was absolutely delicious. I have been slicing, dicing, mincing and soup-making today and after serving 3 for Xmas, 2 servings cold with pickles etc, we have enough for 5 more meals for J and me and 6 servings of soup. Economical or what! All that is left are 600g of bones and I know a small black dog who will enjoy them.
We had glorious weather over Xmas apart from the day itself when it was cloudy and cooler. Yesterday we took Mat back up to the airport. Had an early start at 8am, frost on the car, only 1 degree when we left here but a beautiful sunrise helped compensate. So we arrived at Granada, looked at the departures board, no flight listed until 1.30 whereas a certain person had said 11.30.......checked his paperwork again and realised he'd mis-read the time! So an early start for nothing. Not enough spare time to go anywhere apart from a leisurely coffee and pastry with the newspapers.
Woke to drizzle this morning which has now cleared away but no sun as yet. The fires are alight, the house is warm and cosy, it could be the day for mulled wine I think as we haven't had any yet.
More to come after New Years Eve so hope you all have a good one.
