By the trusted method of counting cups consumed, we served 140 + people with mulled wine and mince pies!Carin's secret recipes for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic variants were very well received, and Neil's mince pastries were also a great hit. Thanks to Carin and Kerry for being a brilliant serving team. (and an honourable mention to Neil and Chris for arriving by car, but for good reasons! And a number of other members who made their own way to the hill from various directions.) | ||
