VT has just gone off to Formby to get a paper. Our local shop is closed today, and who can blame them? it must be Hell being a shopkeeper at this time of the year.
We had a lovely Christmas actually. Just the two of us, but we make a good team. The cats really enjoyed their presents, especially the little cat-nip mouse, and the toy with the feathery bits on the end and the cat-nip in it.Bobby pounced on that as soon as we took it out of the bag, and lay on the floor with her paws round it trying to tear the tissue off.
VT gave me a beautiful Diamond pendant to go with my diamond earrings, and I love it. It is the perfect length and is really sparkly. I gave him a book he had seen in the National Trust shop, and a selection of Nomad Products from Crabtree and Evelyn, so I think he was pleased.
Yesterday we had our Christmas Dinner of course...
Chicken Style Roast,
Gravy,
Bread Sauce and Cranberry Sauce,
Peas, Carrots with cranberries and Maple Syrup,
HoneyRoast Parsnips,
Roast Potatoes
I actually did a pudding too!!!
My traditional Hazelnut Meringue cake, which is two layers of hazelnut meringue, with whipped cream and raspberries, dusted with grated fine dark chocolate. Not just ordinary food...it's Jenny nine toes food!!
Today we are having:
Our usual buffet food. We have done this for years, on Boxing Day we have a selection of picky style buffet things, not very healthy eating plan food but who cares..
Happy ChristmasXXXX
