Merry Christmas



The prosecco's poured, the fire's aglow and the tree's a-twinkle. The next two days will be quiet: just the three of us keeping warm and eating and drinking festive treats. Joe will actually understand the concept of unwrapping exciting things (just don't mention Father Christmas - yesterday's meeting ended in tears).

It's been a long slog to the finish but we're finally here. We'll venture back out after Boxing Day to visit friends and family but for now: just one big, relieved exhalation. Tonight's meal will be made up of good things - cheeses, pate, nuts, rye bread. No cooking for us this evening. The fat capon awaits tomorrow's Christmas dinner.


I may well post before the New Year but then again I may not. Right now I'm in wind-down mode. No shopping, travelling or planning. Just home comforts. Bliss.

Thank you to everyone who's read the blog during 2014. It's been a tough year in many respects but good things have happened too and it's important not to lose sight of those. I also believe there are many more of those good things to come.

Your supportive comments have been such a help during the difficult times, and I'm truly grateful for them. 

I hope you have a magical Christmas with your loved ones. Eat, drink, be merry - and stay warm!

  1. I hope your Christmas is magical, too. I have been in the slow lane for a couple of days now and it is just perfect. Right now, the only sound in the house is the wind in the chimney and the dishwasher working away in the background. Bliss. I do wonder where the kids are but not enough to actually leave the cosiness of the living room and find out. Enjoy your evening meal, it sounds delicious and I'd quite happily be part of it. May the next year be a year of joy! Cxx
