Red leaves

Everyone was looking at the Christmas tree which must have gone up yesterday...the lights aren't officially switched on till the 29th November though. 
Fondant potato update. These worked well and Rob said they were delicious (Rob loves potatoes far more than me) Key seems to be consistency of size and not making them too thick. I think I could have added more garlic and thyme to the butter that I basted them with. 
Funny story.... when I was looking up the ingredients I found that thyme can be put in the freezer. I'd had to buy a large packet so I was delighted with this news. As a result when Rob walked back in the room I exclaimed loudly "Hey Rob, apparently I can freeze thyme!!" It wasn't until I saw the incredulous look on his face that I realised that it sounded as if I was declaring new super hero powers! Then, of course, I fell about laughing. 
Of course Rob does wish I could actually freeze time and then he would definitely get Crimbletown done. His new design is definitely consuming the hours and days.
