Food, and things.

It was our minister's last Sunday yesterday - he retires this week. We will miss him, and goodness knows when we will get a replacement, but the ministers and lay preacher from our sister church 15 miles away are going to fill-in, so it should be fine.

Quite a lot of us from Church went out for a meal with him, and his new wife, to mark the occasion. It was a good meal, with good company - but D-d tells me that their spiced red cabbage still wasn't as good as mine...

Last night I put some meat to marinade, then finished the prep during my lunch break today, left it in the oven on timer and... does anyone remember this line from my story Return of The Key -

‘Uh – wonder if I can face eating Bambi’s Pop?’ Dawn thought.

Well D-d and I decided that we could - I have to report that the venison stew was very, very good!

Well, I better start taking some cards and decorations down - D-d and I will go up to my mother's when I finish work tomorrow night, as it is her birthday, so we won't have enough time to do it all on Twelfth Night!

so we won't have enough time to do it all on Twelfth Night!
I have moved from an area that is mostly Catholic to one that is not, and it is surprising to me now that most people here don't know what Twelfth Night is. I have been asked by a few friends/neighbors when I planned to take down my decorations and then had to explain my answer when I told them Twelfth Night.

It is fairly traditional here to take the decorations down on Twelfth Night, even though the island is mainly Protestant - I hadn't thought of Twelfth Night as in any way mre Catholic than Protestant. We celebrate Epiphany in church, but Twelfth Night is really more part of our pre-Christian celtic celebrations...

D-d and I got home from my Mum's about 8.30pm last night, and put the last bauble in it's box about 11pm.
