A lovely quiet Christmas the tree went up late, as usual it was covered with our collection of birds and the embroidered angels I did about 15 years ago, they come out every year! I started watering the tree and feeding it when it went outside after last Christmas. Although it lost a lot of needles in May and I thought it was dying, so I put it in the border in the garden out of the way and in the shade and almost forgot about it, then one day in August I noticed it has put on a lot of new growth, so I brought it back out into the sunshine on the patio and gave it lots of care, watering it and feeding it again and it lives to serve its purpose for another year.
A few days before Christmas I watched Lorraine Pascale on TV and had to rushed up the allotment to get some leeks and to Sainsburys to get some Cranberries so I could do her nut roast pie, it turned out brilliantly, I could not believe the pastry would stand up!! But it did and the pie tasted wonderful, I shall certainly try it again.
For the recipe look on the bbc website and type in 'Vegetarian nut roast pie with cranberries'
