AND SO IT WAS CHRISTMAS.....

.....and as with every year nowadays, it seemed to be over in the blink of an eye!

Santa had obviously heard that my camera had gone AWOL and brought me a new one....here a selection of photographs I took  throughout the day.
He's been!

Pink fizz, as the in-laws arrive to exchange gifts

Our two girls!

The temperature on the terrace at 1pm!


Out for lunch

Kirsty came home from lunch and cooked a turkey crown, so that there were 'leftovers' for turkey sandwiches at night!!

It was very quiet with just the three of us, but we enjoyed just doing our own thing without worrying about suiting anyone else!

I do hope your own Christmas day was just as enjoyable

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    I like Kirsty's definition of left overs. Looks like you had a wonderful time.

    Love that Kirsty had to cook a 'crown' for leftovers - we did that a couple of years ago when we had Christmas dinner at my Mum's. You do need that cold turkey for a turkey and mayo sandwich!Glad you had a happy Christmas together x

    We cooked a 'crown' we didn't really need as well....and froze a lot of it for turkey roasts through the year!!

    Yay for the new camera and it took lovely pics!! I usually end up cooking a whole turkey the week after Thanksgiving and after Christmas for the casseroles, sandwiches and soups we love lol

    Sounds lovely. I like the number of crowns I see on people internationally - it's a shame we don't do that here.

    Lovely photos - how exciting that you received a new camera! Believe it or not, we had a white Christmas here in Texas & (as always) Robbie spoiled me with lots of gifts.

    Merry Christmas Alison! It was super HOT here too, reached over 40C. Summer is finally here and it seems to have hit with a vengeance. A new camera sounds exciting. I am glad you had a relaxing day.
