Hope everyone enjoyed xmas. Storm Bella giving the trees a good thrashing up here in Scotland, and its grey and miserable outside.. Any remaining leaves have gone. Hunkering down for the day.
Happy Boxing Day! I did it!! The meal was a great success - no crunchy roast veggies but gravy all the same! We couldn't decide whether to have custard, vanilla ice-cream or salted caramel ice-cream with the Christmas pud - yes, you guessed it - we dobbed on all three! No walk on the beach in the afternoon as we have 100kmph winds which makes the air colder - so we just trotted around the fields near the house. Seems to be storms galore - I hope @Obelixx you are all right - you're in for a right one soon. Finished the day with the Christmas special of Call the Midwife - and so to bed.
@WonkyWomble Nice pussycat - looks very contented and cosy.
I think @WonkyWomble has brushed her to within an inch of her life over the past few days ... when I saw her about ten days ago she looked like an explosion in a cushion factory!!! 😯 😂
Now it’s time for Calamity Jane!!! 😍

I'm not allowed to watch it yet @Dovefromabove as man United are playing, I'm allowed to put my dvd on later though lol 😆 And on reflection, maybe i should have married wild Bill!!!! 😉
Calm here today but likely to be horrid tomorrow. Walkies then when Calamity Jane has finished but not tomorrow.
Comfy looking pusscat @WonkyWomble. Looks a lot like our Sashawho had a thing about Possum's Barbie pool. Glad you had a good day @Yviestevie and some laughter. Hope everyone else managed some too.
Sorry about your news @Hostafan1 but don't forget there's always support and encouragement on here when you need it.

Like many others a late change of plans left us with a big turkey between two. However it cooked well and there are now kilos of good meat stored to see us through the winter as well as enough stuffing balls and pigs in blankets for the next couple of days. Carcass has been stripped and boiled for stock.
Had a good rummage in the wine "cellar" for something suitable to wash it all down and found a '93 Nyetimber - 27 year old English fizz which was rather good. There is a slightly younger vintage for tonight's leftovers too

I'm glad though, that Christmas is passed.
Glad to hear about successful Christmas dinners. We had sticky toffee pudding as an alternative (could become a new tradition) 😋
