Happy Advent!

Hurray, we are into Advent now and Christmas is approaching fast.

Happy AdventEven at 35, I still get excited opening that little window each day as the ‘main event’ gets nearer.

My three year-old gets most perturbed when he opens the door to reveal a sticker rather than a chocolate – I don’t think he has quite grasped the meaning of Christmas yet!

It’s time to start preparations in earnest; get those Christmas cards sent (especially with this unpredictable weather), wrap the gifts and cook, cook, cook!

This rich, fruity, nutty Kent Plum Pudding is derived from Sussex Pudding. There are many variations of it found in different regions of the country.
