It was a funny last day of the year. On the 30th went to local farm shop. The owner and his friends go around shooting pheasants and ducks for sport and leave their kill outside the shop for people to take away for free. So grabbed some. Which meant Sunday started with par boiling potatoes ready for New Years Day, used the water from that to boil up a gammon hock, took out the hock, added lentils and made a batch of pease pudding...
Then in the afternoon I taught Steven (he's with us for the New Year) how to skin a pheasant, then we plucked three ducks! The pheasants we had for our evening meal. So strange New Year's Eve.
