We had a delightful day, starting at a civilised 7.30am in the morning. The girls did well as usual, fortunately Santa took into account that we have transport these gifts home to Australia. So many were consumable. After checking their stockings we sat down to a very tasy breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage and bisciut (like a scone)
We than opened presents. It was nice to share Christmas day with Chris, George, Peter and Andrew. Christmas lunch was hot, huge and extremely tasty. We ate Turducen ( a turkey stuffed with a duck which is stuffed with chicken). The 3 birds are slow roasted together so their favours mix in a most agreeable way. The roast was served side dishes of cauliflower in white sauce, bean casserole , a potato bake, stuffings, salad, and a host of sauces. This was followed by a nap and desert at about 5.30 of pumpkin cheese cake.
Just before tea George took us for a drive to a local park that had a great drive through light display. It could be likened to Butstows light display of previous years but much larger and drive through. The lights were grouped into themes and often contained movement. Needless to say tea
cosisted of a very light plate of leftovers.
