Sun has now come out here in Kent, but it's still brass monkeys!! Ginger and lemon hot toddy with a bit of honey will do you the power of good hoots.

Tarka Dahl? Wasn't he an animal in The Jungle Book?

Have you ever seen a menu in England that was in French?

My witchy friend in Scotland has sent me four bottles of mead she's made. I am on the apple and ginger, it is amazing! Fancy a taste??

Sloe gin is gorgeous....home made is best! Although Gordon's will do at a pinch

Do you spend a lot on booze for the festive season?

Who's the scariest....Trump or Putin?
