Ginger biscuits just out of the oven. First biscuits I’ve baked for Christmas. For a neighbour who’s helping look after our dog. Very easy recipe. Few more in the freezer for emergencies. 🍜🍽️🫚🎄

This afternoon we had the pleasure of seeing The Big Animal Quiz with @kirstywebeck.bsky.social, Ivan Aristeguieta and 2 of their comedian friends. What a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon.
