Make room in the deep freeze for pheasants

The moment is here and space is needed for 10 large, plump pheasants to rest in peace until needed.  I always know when to ring up a certain friend and hint madly that we would be game on for something local and wild!  The roads are now no longer an obstacle course of  young and innocent birds tootling about and pecking at the luscious tractor mud.  Something has to come out of the freezer. What do I have? Mainly beans and courgettes! Not a tempting thought for lunch today, so a dash to the pile of torn out magazine recipes that are lurking in a dusty pile in my office!  I also have to bear in mind that only a cauliflower, some peppers,carrots and potatoes dwell in the fridge this morning.
Tricky but I will be back with the result later.

Fireworks and Hot Dogs

Actually we left the dogs behind but the hot dogs were served from a big van by the front porch. Inspired idea by our hosts and delicious way of not having to cook food for 60 guests and to enjoy their own mulled wine, bonfire and fireworks. Undoubtedly, I was the only gluten and wheat free guest and so the van did not stock any or more to the point, the best, gluten free burger buns/bread rolls around.  Check out Antoinette Savill Signature Series of bread rolls stocked in all Waitrose stores around the UK. for your next party. Sorry, had to get that in!
On returning home, more hot dogs............ two in fact, Coco and Lucy sprawled out in front of the log burning stove watching the flickering flames and listening to the crackles and pops. Sounds like our party so everyone has had a great evening.

Celebration day at Fox Barn!!!

Utterly amazed that we have survived 2 years today in the depths of the Goggin! Wild snowy winters, damp foggy autumns, soggy sunny springs and cold wet summers!!!
