The Big Freeze

Due to the generosity of Monsieur Cedrick, we now have a very large fridge freezer and for the first time in ages we can enjoy the “benefits” of frozen food.

This might not sound so amazing, but today we done about ?65 worth of shopping (rather than the usual ?100+) and I expect it to last for a good two weeks or so.
