Mulled Wine in the making

Never made mulled wine before but this is the base cooking and tomorrow add the wine and reheat
Oranges, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, sugar and water
Busy day just had my Nelson friends here for dinner which was so great. They have made a huge effort to be here as she is very fragile with bone cancer and more
I think everything is now ready for an early take off in the morning. Helpers arriving at 8.30 am and I will be pleased to see them
A friend is taking photos for me so hopefully tomorrow night I will at least post one of the train
Have a great weekend
