We enjoyed a lovely Christmas Day with half of the family. I prepared the vegetables and Mum, as always, cooked a delicious dinner with roast turkey and stuffing, chipolatas, pigs in blankets, cranberry sauce with roast potatoes, Brussel sprouts, parsnips, and carrots, and gravy of course, All the plates were cleared, a great tribute to Mum's cooking and the family's appetite.
For dessert, we enjoyed a beautiful home cooked Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, brandy butter and cream. There was also a lovely chocolate pudding which some of the children preferred.
After dinner, the children helped Tilly to give out the presents from the tree.
Here follow a few photos taken on the day.

| Sensibly, we put out place names beforehand and had no squabbles at all. It was a very happy time. |

| The table awaits the hungry horde. |
