2021 - What I did today

At the end of the day the house will smell of sweet baking and there should be 6-8 dozen, maybe more mince pies, luckily most of them will be going home with the lad, you can have too much of a good thing. I used to bake dozens of Christmas cakes, but these days I find we never eat ours, so don't bother with even one.

Update. After baking since 11.00am and 114 mince pies later, I'm finally sitting down with a cup of tea.  Son very kindly left a couple of dozen here for us . He has promised his workmates mince pies on Monday.
