Where does each year go? Christmas has crept upon us once again - each year seems to get shorter than the last one. Did you not long for the months to go quicker when you were little? To get to your birthday and then to Christmas? Oh! and it took such a long time. As we get older - time goes by too quickly - or so it seems.
I was late this year putting up the tree, decorations and making the Christmas cake but I am finally there.
To me Christmas just isn't Christmas without a fruit cake (or Christmas carols) and each year Delias recipe for classic Christmas cake never lets me down. I do omit some of the fruit and replace that with more of the glace cherries though, as it makes a lighter cake.
Our turkey is ordered from the local poulterer as up until recently it was very difficult to find one in the supermarkets. Our presents are bought (but not wrapped yet!) so all that remains is to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a year full of good things.
