Christmas Day sunrise. A very leisurely start here as we don't have Christmas Dinner, we have our meal late afternoon (Salt Marsh Lamb again this year). I have chatted with my dear friend in Dorset, and am about to go and make the Chocolate Roulade which is our Christmas treat every year.
Yesterday was more packing, running round with cards and pots of jam for friends and neighbours, submitting my final accounts for my now defunct business, and then insuring our new house, which took a LOT longer than expected, but saved us £1,000 in one fell swoop over what we have to pay for this house (we have to have flood damage, because of the wee stream at the back - although the house has never flooded.)
We will unwrap presents in half an hour or so, with Gabby and Danny on a video link. Thank heavens for Technology.
Hoping you all have the best Christmas you can manage, in these difficult times Stay safe.
Beautiful photos. Hope your Christmas is quiet and lovely and drama-free. You've had enough drama these past few months. Take care. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, glad you like the photos. My husband poked me in the ribs and told me to get my camera out as it was a lovely start to the day. Christmas was relaxed - you're right, quite enough drama one way and another in the last few months.
DeleteStay safe too.
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy. New Year = New House and we are hoping it all goes smoothly and safely.
DeleteMerry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you Jackie, and to you too.
Deletelovely photos. Hope you had an enjoyable day. We went to my daughter's and didn't have our dinner until 3pm. Then skyped with son and his family at 4pm and then came home. Still a good day for us except we didn't have our church meeting today as nobody could make it. We are a small church.
ReplyDeleteHello Pat. We had our meal even later as it was a good sized rolled shoulder of lamb which we cooked slowly.
DeleteWhat a shame you couldn't have your usual church meeting.
Beautiful photos. Happy Christmas and I hope you are able to take a few days off from packing and relax a little.
ReplyDeleteOne day off only RR. Christmas Day - then back to the grindstone again today. Tam is worried we will run out of time and have to pack through the night!
