Who cheats at yours?
What a night at Birkacre Garden Centre's Christmas opening π A long queue waiting to sample our drinks all evening. Thank you, Liz, for having us!
No rest yet π I'm at British Garden Centres in Gloucester from today until Sunday. Pop by for a taste and say hi to Santa π

Who's the hardest person you've drawn?
Honest question. Does a drink called apple have to have apple in it? Ours does. Dried apple pieces, straight into the pan with the spices. Pale gold, warm, alcohol-free.

Real fruit, or is flavour enough?
Star anise or cloves. One of them has to go from mulled wine forever. Which? Ours has true Ceylon cinnamon, allspice, star anise and cloves. Nothing else, which is why it's hard.

The drink isn't for when the tree's finished. It's for the hour it's still in pieces on the floor. Boxes open, lights in a knot, a mug going cold on the carpet.

Don't put it in a bowl. Don't let a spoon near it. Don't serve it after the meal. It's named after a pudding and it is a drink. Pale gold, in a mug, alongside the food.
