Merry Christmas everyone. Hope your Christmas Day was spent with good friends, family, good food and all the best things in life.
We were awash with wine as usual (well we do live in a wine-growing area) and we spent the day with friends and neighbours. The mistletoe was missing though - it doesn't grow here, although you don't have to travel far south to see the trees festooned with it. Everyone contributed to the meal so no-one had to do the whole lot. This was our contribution (Salmon en Croute), along with lots of roast potatoes :-
A bit selfish really, because everyone else had Tammy and Rob's home-grown pork and lamb, but I don't eat meat so took this for me! There was plenty for everyone, but after stuffing themselves with the meat I'm not surprised they couldn't manage any fish. This will feed us both at least another twice, so I may have to freeze some for later.
Eric was in charge of after-dinner coffees so we took our super-duper bean to cup coffee maker with us.
We had a secret Santa too and everyone brought a gift destined for a particular person, but no-one knew who bought it. There was even a present for Henry (super-duper coffee maker in background!) :-
He got two dried pigs ear treats, one of which he demolished in double quick time!
We ate at probably 2:30-3p.m., and it's now 6:45 a.m. on Boxing Day - I'm finally starting to feel slightly hungry again, although not hungry enough to actually get out of bed and do something about it! Boy were we stuffed!! Think we need to limit ourselves to fruit and salad today to try and sort out our digestive systems.
Happy Boxing Day!
