This was the yummy Christmas dinner Ben prepared. Yes those are veggie sausages wrapped in veggie bacon - anyone who's ever eaten veggie bacon will appreciate how difficult Ben found making those fake pigs in blankets.
Since Christmas things here have been quite chilled out. I got the approval on my thesis corrections and my friend Kim back in Leicester sorted out the printing and binding (thank you thank you thank you!!) so the thesis is now officially properly over!!! Hurrah!
Just wanted to mention that my sister has started an Etsy shop and wanted to point you in its direction. She makes chintzy stuff like aprons and bag tidys and is trying to make a bit of spare cash by selling a few pieces. You can check out her stuff at www.ProjectChintzy.etsy.com. She also writes a blog about her makes: www.projectchintzy.blogspot.com. I know I'm biased but I think the stuff she does is really cute!
