Christmas time no Mistletoe but Wine

Twas a good time.. I was reminded how much God has my back.. and how thankful I am to him for that.
I got my emotional tank filled, with loads of hugs at the Freesets Party (Below) then the Weich Family invited me back to theres for a late lunch (Gravy chicken and all - quite impressive) with 8 year old Becky kicking my arse in Card Scrabble (great game by the way) then a get together that moved to a guys flat for Dvds and Mulled wine* - that went on into the early morn..
A great day.
Mulled wine* Recipe
- it turns out not many people have heard of it here..

1 bottle red wine

1 cinnamon stick

1 orange, -Sliced- not munched like mine)
12 whole cloves

Didnt put these in..
halved
1 dried bay leaf - weird?
60g/2oz demerara sugar
 - woops forgot
grated nutmeg
- that would of been nice if I found it.
4 ounces port or brandy - same as above..


Combine ingredients in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Do not allow mixture to boil. Heat for 20 minutes and serve in a large, heat resistant punch bowl.
