Ale Water Pudding

Happy New Year!

Spent New Year's Eve with friends at a house on the Ale Water and had my first taste of Sussex Pond Pudding just after midnight. Requiring five hours of steaming, it was a magnificent creation, prepared for 8 adults and 10 children, which still hadn't quite been finished when we left this evening.

New Year's resolution is to get 30 minutes of exercise and a Blip every day. They are likely to be linked. For years my exercise has been restricted to a long run in the hills or an orienteering event every week or two (and a few months in the year doing noting at all) and I've now realised that this is unsustainable.

Kept it up on New Year's Day despite wet, windy and, thankfully, mild weather with a 40 minute walk from the house and a 7.5km run with a friend and his daughter.
