Christmas cheer at Carol's

Last night Carol (our next door neighbour) held the Christmas drinks for a small group of neighbours and friends - lovely couple of hours. - inside this year - yep she was still raining.

This morning the sun was shining, not one drop of rain all day, and we spent a good part of it stocking up on our festive food - such as identifying a good ham to glaze, and the recipe and photo of a fine looking trifle had caught my eye, so that was going on trial for dessert when the relos came on Tuesday evening for dinner.
