Bulletin : Mama's zero-proof Lent

Nine degrees at nine am. Mercifully not raining for the Monday morning descent, but threatening. The famous four are fine, doing very good impersonations of those round, fluffy chicks you see on Easter cards and in childrens' books.

Steady as she goes on Lent tea-total...although there was a wobble the other night when my husband, the angel in our kitchen, confronted me with a 10-year-old bottle of Michel Lafarge Volnay, to accompany a celebratory supper of roasted venison with pumpkin and dried plums, garnished with roasted garlic.

Until that moment, I hadn't quite realised exactly how much of a sadist M. actually is...

Sadist is right - why hasn't he joined you in your Lent fast?

What a delicious sounding supper.
Did you tell him "lead me not into temptation"

Not very lent supportive of him.
