Chitchat thread #24

[Nicos]

Afternoon!
Managed to get most of my grory hop done. Just a few fresh things next week and we’re all sorted

I did see somewhere in the uk supermarkets spuds at 15p a large bag….its worth buying a few bags and storing them for a few weeks…same with carrots? Just a thought. No offers like that here unfortunately.

When we arrived home I noticed a large pile of hailstones!…must have dropped whilst we were basking in cold sunshine at the market.

The supermarkets were empty…maybe 20 people max wandering around! Ah the joy of lunchtime shopping in France!
Mind you, Xmas is just one day off here - no Boxing Day holiday, so I guess less bulk buying in is needed?

My impulse purchase was a couple of bottles of vodka so I can take more mirabelles out of the freezer to make space for Xmas food!

Nice to be back home with the wood fire burning away, candles lit and a nice brew of Yorkshire tea and a plate of baby stollen. Bliss

Nicos I’ve frozen a couple of bags of sprouts, then I’m roasting potatoes, carrots and parsnips to freeze next time the ovens on. I’ve grown veg but extras will come in handy.

We had mince pies earlier
