She arrived home with a dozen warm mince pies which were, without doubt, the best mince pies I have ever tasted. They were made with a special festive pastry containing ground almonds and orange rind in addition to all the usual ingredients.
This afternoon Miles and I made some frosted lanterns. We covered some jam jars in PVA glue and sprinkled epsom salts all over them. Voila!
I had planned on making them at Yule, or at least not placing them on our nature table till Yule. Ho hum, it's a good job there's always plenty of room for flexibility round here. It seems the darkest day has already passed and the sun is growing in strength in our hall!

love the jars will try that! Are H's cookery lessons a home thing..
No, H goes to a lady who is a retired home economics teacher. She takes small classes in her own kitchen now. H was back there this morning and I'm going to post pics of her stuff later when I've uploaded. She's made some lovely simple but delish things today :-) The lady supplies the ingredients and the lesson lasts 2 1/2 hours - all for £10. It's so reasonable and the class is never more than three children. So pleased I found her :-)
That sounds ideal :)
