Christmas sprouts.

 

Such a lovely day today. Warm sunshine on my face. I went down to the allotment to check on things and the Christmas sprouts are looking good. I’m not really fan as I’m quite sensitive to their unwanted side effects. However, homegrown sprouts will take pride of place on the Christmas table this year. 

It has been a busy week so far. We had a new. Central heating boiler installed on Monday so I’m feeling very  nervous about spending coming up to Christmas. Although I had a contingency fund, I’m still reeling at parting with a huge sum of money at once. 

Today’s lovely weather is apparently the calm before the storm. Very wet and windy here tomorrow. Also talk of colder weather and possibly some snow in some areas. We often get snow in the higher areas of the Cotswolds. Good thing we have central heating at the ready with our new boiler. 

Babysitting duty tonight as the parents are having a night out at the Farmer’s Dog, Jeremy Clarkson’s pub. You have to book 2 months ahead for the restaurant. I have been there back in the Summer for lunch outside in the pub garden. There is a fantastic view. So busy though. People are still visiting in vast numbers. Very expensive of course but delicious food all produced locally. I wonder if sprouts are on their  menu?
