Christmas feels SO long ago, it is a little strange to be re-visiting it. I share photos from Christmas every year so I thought I'd keep up the tradition!

We'll be spending New Years Eve eating tapas in our favourite Spanish restaurant and I know there'll be a lot of Sangria involved. This winter punch is basically Sangria for Christmas. The best
