Having salmon as dinner has been the easiest, no fuss fish meal been made in the house of Netley, and today I brought one of my salmon recipes to Bath on my visit to A.
I can't believe how quickly this term has gone by. Autumn term is supposed to drag on, supposed to make people feel like they can't wait to go home, feel like Christmas is never going to come soon enough.
And yet, this year before I know it it's December. Before I know it there are Christmas advertisements everywhere (please see John Lewis' Christmas ad) excuses can now be evoked for watching movies like Four Christmases and Love Actually (the ultimate must-watch festive movie of the year). And of course Christmas markets.
One of the reasons why I shamelessly made my third train journey this term, to go to the Bath Christmas market. Hot mulled wine, steak burgers, hot chocolate with Baileys shot, first mince pie of the year with hot custard.
I feel so fat.
And purchases, pomegranate and blackcurrant balsamic vinegar, and truffle oil. A 'flying' cow to hang in the corridor of Netley. Early Christmas presents whee.
For the few times in my life this year I am actually feeling the festivity in the air and actually looking forward to a warm, happy Christmas.
