Stir up Sunday last Sunday, so here’s my baking and making:
3 Christmas puds
4 jars pickled beetroot
3 jars pickled red cabbage
2 jars red cabbage sauerkraut
1 Christmas cake
1 apple spice cake
I’ve got to burp the sauerkraut every day and feed the puddings and cake with whisky every week. Phew

It’s cold and rainy and getting dark already on this November day, so here’s a picture of a cat who runs a bookshop in Wigtown, which cheered me up.
