What are you all up to

Goldie. We're so far ahead of the game that we had Christmas lunch with our eldest daughter and family today. We even had crackers and some terrible jokes...I felt for a moment I was in Australia as the weather was very warm and sunny! After lunch we had a Christmas Day walk with the dogs. Back to normal tomorrow and I have already got a Christmas pudding and all the ingredients for a couple of cakes. We've ordered a turkey crown and will collect some local pheasants later. Meanwhile I've got a Halloween 🎃 cake mix kit for youngest grandson. Confused, or what?! 

M........A nice dine-in from M&S, or similar, prepared by your good self, accompanied by a good wine or  champagne?

That's tonight's treat! I've just put the duck in the oven (well, the legs anyway!)

The County Arms, Truro…..or a Philps pasty. It’s a close call🤔😄

Well I have an issue, I still have last years turkey crown in the freezer! We couldn’t have the family here last year cos of lockdown, so we bought a smaller one just for us. Then thought we could use it at Easter but that didn’t work. In the summer our family stayed but they wanted to be out and about all the time so we didn’t have it then. Going to sons this year, think I will take it as an extra, or maybe New Year when they are here. Not sure what it will be like though.

Happy Birthday to Mrs M for tomorrow, moulesy. Hope you manage to sort out a nice meal somewhere.

Sounds as if you had a really good time away, Francis. Shame about the wet drive home and the dirty vehicles.

DD, it was the same the last time we visited Stourhead with regards to the lack of colour in the foliage, but it was a weekday so we weren't bothered with huge crowds.

Hope you get the bike sorted, WN. Pleased to read that you managed a good night's sleep last night, all that driving home just have tried you out good and proper.

We've not even turnabout Xmas yet, but do still have a special Christmas Pudding which we got in January, with a best before date of 2022 so should still be fine.

Is Fowey/Bodinnick too far for you? We have always had lovely food in The Old Ferry Inn at Bodinnick. Fantastic walk as well nearby, The Hall Walk. Bodinnick to Polruan, ferry from Polruan to Fowey, walk through town, then another ferry back across to pub. 

Or, The Navy Inn, just off promenade close to Jubilee Pool in Penzance. Admiral Benbow is good in Penzance, but food is nicer in Navy Inn👍

Many happy returns to Mrs M, have a good day, wherever you go😁

 

Happy birthday to Mrs M for tomorrow. I hope you find somewhere nice to take her for a meal.
