The computer is off and no more work to be done until January. Happy Christmas all, from turkeys past.
Emma's great aunt Anne (or it might be Liz?) and her turkeys, at the Stone family farm at Lurgan, Co. Offaly, early 1950s. Black and white photograph of a woman in a white shirt and apron, arms folded, standing in a field with a tree and washing line behind her, and a flock of six or seven turkeys in the foreground.

A monochrome morning.

Out of the oven now, and will spend the rest of the day gradually cooling, occasionally stirring, with the whiskey added once cool.
The mincemeat after three hours in a 110C oven. The suet has melted and the fruits have swelled up.

Snow on the ground, and the first batch of this year’s whiskey mincemeat is spending the morning in the oven.
The ingredients of Emma’s whiskey mincemeat melded together before going into a low oven for three hours: chopped apple, raisins, currants, sultanas, orange and lemon peel, vegetable suet, sugar and spices.

Spooky!
The giant illuminated green fingers of a monster climbing out of the Metro Bank in Leicester last night. Careful!
