Christmas cake

Usually make this a few weeks earlier than this to allow for maximum brandy "feeding" but here it is, my Christmas cake for 2013. It was a slightly challenging bake today as the majority of my body is hurting following yesterday's exploits. Made stirring, getting stuff out of cupboards & checking the progress of the cake in the oven far trickier than usual. Still, here it is & I have no regrets regarding yesterday!
