Yes, it's that time of year again. Time to put the decorations up and think of presents if you can afford them and what to drink to keep the chill out. Personally I can't stand mulled wine, so I take refuge in the wines of southern France - Les Vignerons d'Estézargues' different cuvées or Domaine des Chênes Rivesaltes Tuilé for example.
The Earth has finally gone to sleep after a few cold, wet days so there is no need to feel guilty for not being in the garden. There are already signs of next year's harvest - broad beans, onions and garlic are all peeping out. Something to look forward to; now that the area has been cleared of invasive perennial plants, getting things started next February and March will be a pleasure.
I will no doubt be writing on other subjects soon, but I wish anyone who reads this a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I hope you can be with your family and friends. In any case enjoy the time, reflect on the year gone by and on the one to come. With any luck, good fortune and happiness will come running up to you and hold you in a solid embrace.
