Shame the weather wasn't ideal. We had lots of rain in Oxfordshire and it was so miserable on one day that we even lit the fire. Though we did have two rays on sunshine... our lovely friends Mr and Mrs H from Cornwall came up to spend a few days with us.
Luckily they are real foodies too... and Mr H brought with him some lovely Polgoon Red and White wine to sample. As you could imagine, the weekend was spent eating, drinking and drooling in our local kitchen shop (spending lots of money!).
Le weekend menu included vegetarian enchiladas, home made pizza and tagine which were all very well received. On their last night Mrs H and I whipped up the most amazing easy peasy pudding courtesy of Mr Bill Granger (Simply Bill).
We made banana butterscotch pudding and it was amazing! Um, I would have liked to have shown you a "before" picture, but we never got that far... so this is all that I have to show you...

It's definitely something to look forward to in the winter when it gets cold!
