Out Out
New Year's Eve lunch out in a traditional English pub. Supporting the economy, and in particular small local pubs. Cheers!

Baby It's Cold Outside
Not just the title of a song, but this morning a reality. That's around 24 degrees Fahrenheit, just so you know.

Rise!
When your Yorkshire Puddings have gone just right! It's all about getting sufficient air into the batter, and ensuring the oil is hot LOL.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Archangel
Take a good look at this lovely 2026 interpretation of an historic coin. This £5 coin features the angel battling the dragon (the Archangel Michael against Satan). Not surprisingly, since its original introduction in the mid 15th century, the angel coin has attracted religious connotations, as well as being seen as a symbol of authority by monarchs. Isn't it fab?
