Simply..sometimes....

..I just get a bit fed up with eating sensibly. So I had a mince pie for breakfast.

Now to get down to the lovely task of sending greetings and messages of love...Its a happy
thing to do on a wintry day.

Donald MadLeod on his brilliant programme Composer of the Week (Radio 3 mid day) points out that in Medieval times the festive season lasted from now until Candlemas on the 2nd of February. Maybe they had the right idea.

Would it not be a wonderful thing to celebrate every day of winter until them? In some quiet simple way? Any ideas on how you would do that? Mince pies for breakfast might be one.. well, occasionally.

I have heard you can get an advent, mince pie calendar! that might be too much, even for someone who loves mince pies.

As ever, Freda, you've inspired me. Why not a mince pie for breakfast? We've received no cards yet, but a kind friend in Yorkshire has sent a box of miniature mince pies from Bettys - breakfast sorted.

Great idea Freda ! I'm happy to cross porridge off the menu and eat mince pies instead. And as I'm pondering how to celebrate every day of winter another mincepie might be called for.

So delightful to hear that others get tired of eating sensibly. I always carry a bit of guilt about that and is freeing to know that you did it with celebration. Caring for the body can be so tiring at times. I so love that cup!

I do have a tendency to take things a little, too seriously! Perhaps you are the same?
