Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year one and all! Paul and I
had a very busy festive time – in the end we had 25 guests on Christmas Eve and
10 for Christmas lunch. Paul did himself very proud with a stunning Beef
Wellington, which was vastly enjoyed by all. There’s a reason I’m marrying a
chef!
On Boxing Day we journeyed to the edge of the New Forest to
see my Nan and the rest of my mother’s side of the family. The theme for this
year’s Boxing Day buffet was ‘food from the movies’, and there were many
fantastic entries.
‘Scone with the Wind’ (featuring sprout scones!)
‘Scone in 60 seconds’
Sensing a theme here? There were many scone-related dishes,
but the deserved winner was my cousin Joe with ‘The Breakfast Club Sandwich’
Back home, and back to reality in the New Year. Henry is now
safely tucked away in the garage out of the wind and rain. Paul and I have some
time off towards the end of the month, during which we intend to get a good
start working on him. We were very lucky to be given a lovely picnic basket and some fantastic camping chairs from my Mum and brother respectively. So watch this space!
