as i said here, this evening we went to the white company’s christmas in july press show. whilst the nippers were down stairs cosied up in teepee’s in the cinema room, scoffing their tea, all the mummy’s were upstairs sipping gin punch and mulled win whilst decorating gingerbread men to get us into the festive spirit.
now back to that mulled wine, OMG hello! blooming gorgeous, i just had to share how to make it. so please find ingredients and simple instructions below.

Ooooh it was delicious! definitely my favourite of the evening 🙂 lovely to see you there and to meet the very gorgeous R too xx
i quite liked both! weren’t the kiddies so good? hope A is feeling better today, she did so well x
This. Looks. Tasty.
I’m not usually a fan of mulled wine, but I might try this. Y’know, in six months time.
The pear makes it feel really soft and smooth. Delicious. Perhaps you won’t have to wait 6 months and try some later?
What a great twist on a traditional recipe! I might give this a go this Christmas.
you really should it tastes amazing!
Oh now this has Homeland finale written all over it!
it is beyond delish, try it x
