I have cranberries and oranges waiting... And a bottle of red cooking
wine! My family like my cranberry & orange sauce for Christmas. I'm
off out to order the venison in a few minutes!
You know, cranberry sauce is a gloroius colour... Must see what I can
find in the way of fabric that colour! A nice cord would make a
brilliant skirt!
