Best of the Season to you Graham and all others!

I'm fresh out of Laphoaig, but I have a couple of liters of apple/cinnamon cordial my sister-in-law made for me for Christmas. It's sweet, spicy and warming, and deceptively potent.

This morning, I found some apple cider in the 'fridge to heat up later. A splash of the cordial in a cup of warm cider will make a nice welcome-home drink after work tonight.

I hope Santa was also good to all of you.
