Christmas Day....

our "first" at home, always been and visited, had our dinner elsewhere. Started off with the presents, then had our now traditional breakfast of croissants with "Bucks Fizz" - even threw in a few fresh strawberries in this year.  And also new for this year we did our first roast!! I had a lovely piece of beef, we also made a beautiful nut loaf for the rest of the family, but Louisa decided to have fish!  The nutloaf was very nice - and a bit of home grown stuff in it too made it a bit extra special. Also picked our own broccoli from the garden, had honey roast pumpkin, potatoes with rosemary and kumara with honey glazed carrots, peas and gravy. A drop of the old Lindauer strawberry fraise washed it all down beautifully, and even Paddy got his own little dinner, beef and boiled potatoes which were polished off with gusto.

So, merry Christmas everyone! Back soon.
