Friday evening I hosted what should have been a bonfire party, but after a careful study of the weather forecast decided we'd be safer, and drier, staying inside. So my guests ditched all their jumpers, wellies, coats and hats, we lit the fire in the drawing room and set to on the very important matter of eating drinking and talking hard.
As ever, I managed to forget to take any sensible blog photos, but did manage a couple of the most important part of the evening!
There was mulled cider (and mulled apple juice for those not drinking)
then we started with: thyme and apple sausage rolls, roast vegetables, potato wedges, honey and mustard chicken wings, cheesey pesto bread, refried beans and tortilla chips and guacamole, BBQ sauce and sour cream dip.
For pudding we had sticky gingerbread, pumpkin muffins, pumkin spiced marshmallows and apple slices for dipping in thick caramel sauce (which I managed to cut off the picture, oops!).
Saturday was mostly spent recovering and washing up...
Sunday morning was beautiful! I went up with three other husbandless wives up to the Hoe for the Remembrance Parade.
.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
