Hope you enjoyed it. We are heading into winter here, which is my
favourite time of year for cooking. Looking forward to making pumpkin
and other soups over the coming months.

Thanks, this morning is much milder and if it stays that way for a
couple more weeks I should get at least /some/ ripe pumpkins.

Dinner tonight - I have a huge hunk of mutton leg which should
hopefully fit into my Dutch oven. I'll brown both it and some veggies,
then back into the Dutch oven with some spices, herbs and stock to
slow cook all day on the fire. I'll start cooking it around 8AM this
morning.
