    Morning Girls, hic!

    The mulled claret would go well with mince pies after an evening Carol Singing!

    Now a Bloggers Carol Singing evening for a Charity would be mighty!

    How about a nice Roast Beef recipe to go along with that mulled wine? This one is an old family favorite.

    Bake one LARGE roast of beef and one SMALL roast of beef in the oven together.

    When the small one burns, the big one is done…..
