Finally time to get my arse into gear this week and start thinking about Christmas, starting with a gorgeous wreath like this one from @lilyvioletmay. Also need to track down other Xmas decs which have mysteriously disappeared in some cupboard of doom (@deboradeclutters will NOT be impressed). Anyone else as disorganised as I am? #notprepared.

The surprise wine of the weekend - @trevibbanmill_vineyard’s Blanc de Blancs - extraordinary to get that depth of flavour from a brut nature in Cornwall. Thanks @resnathanoutlaw for the discovery.

Mahoosive platter of langoustines @ricksteinrestaurants last night - not *quite* as big as they appear here (accentuated by the angle) but pretty darn huge.

Chicken croquettes (with crispy chicken skin), mussel ‘popcorn’ and nduja meatballs @barnabyspadstow, the latest restaurant from the @prawnonthelawn team. Good to hang out and chat wine with @ellywinowen @padstowxmas.
