Hello Pastille - Thanks for that it really does sound like something I could do - especially if I buy the loaf!!! Will make a five star tomato soup - sorted
Cheese is the snow parsley perhaps as tree branches - thought about basil but it will wilt oh the fun I am going to have. I am also holding a wee soiree on boxing day so it will make a great centrepiece.
I have already poured the wine and thoroughly enjoying it. (I keep buying booze for Christmas etc but obviously have to test it)
Have a good evening and thanks again. xx
