Neil, thank you too! Seems that we have been very busy looking out the window and complaining about winter and here you go showing us that it's ok to enjoy it. Looking forward to warm soups, freshly baked bread and pints of ale. This all sounds so wonderful and we can use stuff from our own gardens, I will make some soup tomorrow, can't think of a better way to spend a cold day when I am off from work. Enjoy your ale!!
