    Miss LRH and Miss MWC have done me proud this Christmas - I haven't had to buy a single egg AND I'll have some eggs leftover to give as hostess gifts :T

    We had the RC spelt salad with roasted squash & fennel for dinner - really yummy - it will be going on the meal plan for January :)

    Mr MWC has chickened out of squirrel hunting in the loft :rotfl:
