I am lucky enough to have two fondue sets which spend most of their time unused and unloved in the basement.

As best I can recall one of them arrived as a birthday present about 30 years ago and the second came as a wedding present. It is of course a once in a lifetime occurrence to have the need for two fondue sets both at the same time. But they are there just in case.

I used just the one this evening for a cheese fondue.

The recipe came courtesy of a book of Keith Floyd’s greatest hits. It appears on a well scuffed page 115 which is some sort of testament to the the number of times it has been referred to over the years.

Over the course of the afternoon I spent time mending a window in the greenhouse before sweeping it out of its leaves and then thinking about what seeds to plant for the veg plot.
