Time for sleep

A truly grim day, with almost non-stop rain. I spent much of it preparing a quiz for our local wildlife group Christmas event, which was a good distraction from the weather. 

Many of our neighbours were celebrating Diwali, with fireworks and coloured lights. We entered into the spirit of the day by preparing an Indian meal - lamb kofta curry, spiced cauliflower and pilau rice with home-made mango kulfi for dessert and an arrangement of tealights on the table - perfect for driving away the November gloom. I'd forgotten just how delicious kulfi is, and remarkably easy to make too. 

Photography was limited to a quick phone shot from my bed - very much an EB!
