Mulling it over

Mulled wine is, literally, Christmas in a cup. The aroma and taste of warmed red wine, fruits and spices is a classic first brought to us by the Romans to arm themselves against the cold winters. By conquering much of Europe they spread the good cheer of mulled wine and warmed the cockles of many a heart.

So here were are on New Years Eve raising a toast to one and all. It's a time to reflect upon the year behind us and make plans and resolutions for the year ahead. For me, it has been a good year with highlights including time spent with family and friends and enjoying holidays. Vegetarian food hasn't been a particular highlight but maybe next year ...

Anyway, raising my glass of mulled wine to you all - have a happy, healthy and fun filled 2018.
