Thanks for the mention! I had my first mince pie today! I am a connoisseur and can declare that of the shop bought, Greggs, surprisingly, are the best!

Ooh... interesting. We have a Greggs in Saffron Walden now so I'll have to check it out

My Dad has a self imposed rule that you should only eat mince pies in December. As I'm a youngest child I rebel every year and eat them when I please! I had my first one last week, with Yorkshire clotted cream 😋

We used to have a similar rule when I was little 🤣

I love your gloves and the hat pattern. Can you recommend a reliable and relatively easy DK hat pattern?

TinCan Knits have some brilliant, simple hat patterns. The Barley hat is written for DK and works brilliantly

If you want a less-guilty hot chocolate, I’ve posted this recipe on my website. I think I figured out it’s something like 250 calories (which surprised me as kind of a lot) but it’s only sweetened by dates. You could use real milk instead of the non-dairy. (I’ve never liked the taste of real milk, even as a kid.)

I still have your fingerless mitts in my queue to make. I suffer from Raynaud’s and I always thought, do fingerless mitts even make sense got me when my fingertips are the problem area? But your explanation of warming up the pulse points is intriguing, so now I’m more determined to get these knitted up (after Christmas).
