What happened to November? It seemed to pass away quietly with not much fuss and not a lot to blog about. The only thing that comes to mind is the Sparrowhawk insurgent; one minute fluffy spudgies next minute lunch. It liked it so much it came again the same day.<\/p>\n
Funny, I’ve not seen many birds lately I wonder if it is related. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So the solstice is coming, so work is under way for the main feast. It will probably be a normal staple of venison and game (I wonder what sparrow tastes like, I can already see those disapproving looks \ud83d\ude42 ). Plus the veggies.<\/p>\n
Which I do eat despite popular belief. I suppose the one thing you will not find on the menu is turkey, which I always find funny coming from the area that’s got the biggest reputation for it.<\/p>\n
Are well back to the recipe books to finish off the ideas, and the obligatory christmas drink \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
