The Christmas baking is in full-swing, though quite when we are going to eat it all is beyond me. No doubt, we'll end up foisting half of it on to various rellies who will smile through gritted teeth as we hand it over. Their fridges, cupboards and freezers already full to bursting without our offerings. Oh well.
The house is just stating to smell Christmassy with cinnamon, cardomom, marzipan and mixed peel baking inside a rich bread dough in the oven. I've never made Stollen before and am not sure I've even eaten it before. But it smells right for today, and feel right too; a memory of childhood Christmases for Jen.
