Central portion of top of Creation Window in St Neot Cornwall, with tracery outlining 6 small lights demonstrating various orders of angels with yellow and orange highlights. Above each light is a tiny light with a star, emphasising the holiness of the figures. Two lights have decorative leaf motifs. The lights show signs of their repair but are nevertheless in fine condition.

One of earliest windows among medieval wonders in St Neot, Cornwall is the Creation, c.1480, w 95% original glass. Tracery lights feature degrees of angelic powers.
Bribery, plus 'liming' of the medieval windows, preserved them from 1650s Parliamentarian extremists.

Across much of Italy, stuffed pastas are a Christmas tradition. Richer, more indulgent, and perfectly suited to the festive table.

This season we added a few new favourites to our Puglia Kitchen menu: home-made stuffed pappardelle and ravioli caprese.
