This weekend (I was in York with HD, staying with friends of his) I had my first mulled wine of the year. Fantastic stuff (shame about the paper cup, but you can't have everything I guess!), lovely and warm, the perfect complement to the fake but pretty snow that was being blasted along the streets by randomly placed snow-machines. I felt thoroughly toasty afterwards. Must dig out my recipe.

York's looking lovely. Subtle Christmas lights, it's all very seasonal but generally tasteful and not over-stated. Just like Glasgow's George Square (not). We'll be back there for New Year - I'm looking forward to it already.
