Christmas

It most certainly is.... I hate turkey, and I grew up 20mls from the Straits of Dover, so small soles were often on the table at home.

Geranium you would not be ever so slightly smug would you? I am sure we are all jealous.


dianthus if only you lived nearer to forum members. My husband will be on his own too, but he is very second hand and would not be good company. In Australia a lot of people visit friends instead of family at Christmas because they are so far away from relations. We always had turkey and roast and Christmas pudding, but in the tropics it is changing and quite right too. I am Victorian in nature and birth.

I am visiting my younger son for Christmas Day because Natasha is the vet on duty. Elder son, where I am now has his Dad (my first husband) and his partner for the day. He and his partner came in for a visit yesterday.

I am going to give this a try at my next abode grindle.

@hywel you can't help the mess, but perhaps you ought to buy some Christmas lights to put somewhere. If you bought a small string of them, they would look good over a branch of fir tree in a vase or pot. Beryl could use a bit of good cheer and you need a lift. I hope you don't think I am being cheeky.
