One day it was still summer and the next day….bam…the cold was upon us and it’s winter.  Well, that’s what it felt like to me!  Although I’m more a summer type of person, winter does have its pros: blankeys, cosy jackets,rugby (if that’s what you’re into), hot chocolate, soup and other warm, hearty meals.  Like this ox-tail recipe which is one of our favourite.  Keep warm.  xxx
