Spotted.

A very busy day so far.
Raining outside and so didn't think I would have much of a blip today, until Mr C spotted this ladybird crawling across the lounge carpet.
Perfect for Tiny Tuesday. Thanks little ladybird.
Mr C carefully put it out into the garden. However I think it may be a Harlequin ladybird, and not one of our native species. So was that the right thing to do?

Busy today in the kitchen.
Christmas puddings now steaming away. 
All pickling onions peeled, and in salt and water until tomorrow when they will be bottled.
A batch of rock buns made.  4 all ready eaten with our afternoon tea!

A very enjoyable Wine Club meeting last night.
Great tasting of French wines from " Hidden France".including:
An unusual white Beaujolais which was deliciously refreshing.
A red Domaine Girard " Malapere" Tradition from near Carcassone.
and a wine from Rasteau, a village we visit often, 
  Domaine Travers, Char a Vin, Cotes du Rhone.
We will definitely visit this vineyard next year.

Treasurer's report went well. No one all that interested . Just so long as the fees aren't going up!
