Christmas Bow

I respect my cat too much to dress her up in ridiculous clothes, but I have been known to tie a bow around her neck at Christmas time, just for a photograph or two. I couldn’t get her to look at the camera, but one of her toy springs kept her still for a few moments.

We woke up to snowfall and everything looked so pretty. Luckily the roads and paths have been cleared and I was able to walk down to the shops for food.

I’m making mince pies this afternoon, the pastry is already made and resting.It's easier to roll out when it's a little firm. The mincemeat is homemade.  I don't like suet and the artificial flavours in the bought stuff.
