Our tree from a
local farm was installed on Wednesday 12.
We also had some holly and mistletoe from a kind neighbour, and all
our other decorations came down from the loft |
Teresa and Jay
decorated the tree |
This crib set
occupies a manger made by Teresa’s late step father-in-law |

A Christmas
flower basket |
Teresa baked and
iced a traditional
Christmas cake |
|
|
|
Helen and Jay
worked up an appetite by walking over to the steam
railway |
|
|
About to start
the Christmas Eve meal The crackers
were hand-made by Jay, with carefully chosen gifts and hats |
Teresa prepared our now traditional Christmas Eve
meal: prawn cocktails, followed by
Beef Wellington for Roger and Teresa and a duck crown for the girls Helen enjoying a
joke on Christmas Eve |

But pride of place
among the presents was this beautiful gemstone globe that Teresa bought for
Roger |

Jay and Roger reprise their Christmas concert from 2003 It was the same three sets but rather rustier |
Boxing Day saw most
of the turkey disappear from the cold platter with various cold snacks and
treats |
