Snowing Again

Enough to keep us in this morning, and we were planning to go out today as well.
VT had the bright idea to make some Marmalade this morning so that is what we did. We use a tin of Marmade..4lbs of sugar, and a good slug of Remy Martin Congac at the end. That makes about 7lbs of the most tasty marmalade in beautiful jars. That lasts about a year in total. The Marmade system is really good and you can't go wrong with it. We have used a variety of alcohol in the past such as whisky, cointreau or brandy, but he fancied some Congac which has been in the cupboard for an age.
VT woke up the other night by a bang. I didn't wake up, nothing gets me up once the hearing aids have come out. But he was wondering where it had come from, and initially thought it had come from next door. Anyway, he has just come in to say that it was something in the cupboard over the wardrobes. A christmas tree had overbalanced a bit and pushed something in the adjoining cupboard that had fallen down.
Well that's cleared up.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese leek and potato tarts from Waitrose,
Spaghetti (tinned)
Maybe the last of the puddings.. Bread and Butter.
