We still have all the “party” food we planned for lunch yesterday so that’ll be today’s lunch and it’ll be American-style pancakes, streaky bacon and maple syrup tomorrow! #ChristmasOvercatering

I’ve switched on the setting that won’t let you post without alt text.

That’s awesome!

No but I think they are completely interchangeable.

What a lovely day - met friends at the pub then went to other friends for drinks and nibbles and got home mid-afternoon. Did meal prep and cooked a few sausage rolls to keep us going. Listened to the wonderful Big Finish Dr who Christmas story set in Vienna. Perfect.

And you! Have a fab rest of the day. Xx

Hmmmm and yet I saw you earlier 🥰

Merry Christmas Lorna to you and yours. Xx

In other news, an early Christmas present last night - my dad’s Green Card has been approved!

Listening to Carols from King’s while I wait for Ben to get up and wondering why our printer isn’t working (I have ONE THING I need to print!). Merry Christmas all. 🎄🎄🎄

Nice! I’m not sure ours will be broached before Boxing Day!

Top row for me!
Giveaway!

I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase.

Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose?

(UK only)

Making the biggest turkey stock ever - I had to use my preserving pan to fit everything in!

Oh no! That’s rubbish. Feel better very soon. Xx

In and out of Waitrose by 7:45am for the final, final bits. Result!

Ahh!

Can I join your family please?

Ummm, being set at Christmas is the definition of a Christmas movie?

It’s not too late!

Loving your work 🥰

Breast of lamb, mash, broccoli. I just made ruff puff pastry and I’ll make sausage rolls tomorrow, my mum’s recipe 🥰

You have festive leftovers already? Nice 🥰

We are making a confit turkey leg (cos we couldn’t find one online!) and it’s HUGE! As in, mammoth sized. It’s supposed to be completely covered in goose or duck fat but after 6 jars I gave up and have turned it regularly and am hoping for the best.

I’ve now started the list for tomorrow - 3 things so far…

We have (different) neighbours coming over at Twixmas.

Same.

Yeah, we know everyone by name on our road which is unusual, I think! 19 houses?
