What's seldom is wonderful!


No Monday morning blues in this house this week.....or Tuesday....or even Wednesday for that matter - il neige - yes, it's snowing........and what a treat for kids in Normandy!!

Our two, Ellen and Kate, apart from les sports d'hiver - skiing holidays - haven't ever seen so much of the white stuff......they're having a ball......the dogs too.....Maman too....Papa, who has to venture out to work, a little less, no doubt, although on Monday was able to enjoy the welcomed change from rain and wind with the rest of us....and off we went to our nearest wood - le bois de Saga - after which we enjoyed a mulled wine.......


Vin Chaud......... you will need:


1 bottle of fairly cheap Bordeaux

1/2 bottle of port and the same quantity of water

freshly ground nutmeg

1 cinnamon stick

A few grains of Cardamon

Grated rind and juice of an orange

Sugar to taste


Slowely heat all up together and serve piping hot, preferably beside a roaring fire....

Santé!
