Saturday, December 5
Cleo and Gary left the cottage together once Grit and Toni
had appeared to take charge of the infants. The big girls were going to meet
for a biscuit-making session at Cecilia William’s house down the road. Their
school-friend’s mother was German and observed all the best German traditions
all the year round, and that included making mountains of biscuits for Advent.
A nice custom, Gary thought as he handed Charlie a twenty pound note to pay for
some of the ingredients. After all, he would probably eat most of the biscuits.
