Always intended to try making a Pannetone so this is the result!

It was good and the leftovers made a fantastic bread-and-butter pudding!

The East Pit, Cherry Hinton Lime Pits, last worked in the 1980s and now a nature reserve.  Not much nature yet, but it's early days in geological time.

On 30 December we had a visit from my cousin Rosemary and her son Chris.
