Boughs of holly and bowls of dough

Culinary one-upmanship
We'll show you how to knock up an edible 17th Century centrepiece for your banquet table this Christmas.
Love thy Neighbour We were lucky enough to have access to the wilds of the estate. We used mistletoe, bay, holly, ivy and willow to make this kissing bough and decorate the hall. Luckily ivy seems to be the easiest and most abundant of these plants to gain the greatest effect. Haven't had this one blessed yet but have briefed the front of house volunteers to hug everyone who walks through the door. Think they agreed in principal but we did walk off quickly.
An early 17th Century apple bobbing game. A stick, an apple, a lit candle, a blindfold and no health and safety issues whatsoever.
