Welcome to our Christmas Dinner
Join us for a Christmas dinner.
It has been a peaceful day - which has included some dozing.
This was our turkey joint, with stuffing and bacon.

Some might be appalled at my potato roasting pan.
It has been providing us with delicious roast potatoes for over 45 years now - and they seem to get better the longer the tin keeps going.
Obviously the turkey was easy to carve and there is plenty left for at least a couple more days.

Let's be honest we don't normally bother with eating meals at the table - not now there is just 2 of us.
But we dressed the table today and it made a change - still managed to throw gravy all down my blouse!
Cheers Bill!
The vegetables were sprouts, carrots and swede and with the potatoes were honey glazed parsnips.
On with some gravy.
The happy couple.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all family and friends.
I have a Christmas pudding. I decided that 6 minutes in the microwave would be a lot more suitable than 90 minutes being boiled.
In the event we didn't cook it at all - we just couldn't eat any more.
So our bargain Harvey Nicholls Christmas pudding (one pound 50) waits for another day - or even another Christmas.
We have eaten very little more since our 3 o'clock dinner.
I had a small cake - that's all.
Obviously we have chatted with our sons - also enjoying a Christmas with just their own families.
Jamie took his family to the Beach Bar - yes, I could have really enjoyed that. They had chicken with cashew nuts amongst other things - I do love that meal.
Ashley and his family, like us, were looking forward to the Dr Who Christmas special. They had beef today.
Hope your day, even if you are not a celebrator of Christmas has been all you would wish for.
