Shifted seasons

 Writing this in what seems to be mid November here in South Wales.
Has anyone noticed that we have had a 2 month shift in our seasons,
the last couple of years
Summer was April/May/June, Autumn was July / August  and now  we seem
to be at the end of Autumn heading towards Winter.
This could account for us getting snow in November when it should be
in Jan.

Now you're just teasing...

I've seen the christmas gifts out in the shop but didn't think of
looking for mince pies... Guess who's off to the shops shortly!

I don't like shop-bought mince pies, I always find them too dry.  Unless
they are fresh from the bakery and use puff pastry, but they don't tend to
do them very often.

I was playing with the idea of making mince pies using choux pastry this
year, like festive chocolate eclairs.  Perhaps topping them with brandy
butter or some kind of spiced ...  ooh, new idea!

Choux bun (mini eclair shape/size), split, dollop of mincemeat, topped with
confectioner's custard, sprinkled with spiced icing sugar!
