Things are coming along: 3rd Advent today!
Our candles have been burning all day and it’s been very cosy as we entertained a large family contingent for lunch and afternoon tea – it was fun to make a Christmassy meal that wasn’t turkey 🙂 I went for a ham wrapped in homemade yeast dough and decorated with stars and it was delicious. The tiramisu with mandarines went down well, too, followed by gallons of tea, numerous espressos, mounds of Christmas biscuits, nuts, mandarines, chocolates and lively chat – and now all of a sudden, the house is very quiet as we all go back to our various Sunday evening tasks and all is in order again.

It sounds like you had a wonderful day!
So glad it went well! And that sounds like a wonderful meal – may I put my order in now for my next visit?
Absolutely!
