Bet she's gonna start telling us about how in Portugal you can cook chestnuts just by leaving them out on your balcony... ;)

Mmmm chestnuts my grandad used to do them on the gas fire by placing them through the wire not as enticing as that pan but well worth it when we ate them

Re: xmas is nearly here....
 

They were rather lovely, thank you. ;)

I wouldn't go that far, but close enough...

Yeh, unfortunately we're now going through the first bit of the rain season, which, according the lovely people at the met department will end... ah, sometime tomorrow!

:p
