| No apologies for a little look back to Christmas - it was so very enjoyable for us and I am feeling rather reluctant to forget it all! Much of the fun was in the preparations - including making up our own hampers for presents from some of the preserves and brews we had been compiling. |
 |
| Karen made several Christmas Cakes (including one for us of course!). |
 |
| I filtered off my Sloe Gin infusion... |
 |
| Sloe Gin gets even better with keeping so some of these have been stashed away for future years! |
 |
| Homemade fudge - yummy!! |
 |
| Karen found that these mixing bowls made great containers for all the goodies and of course can be kept and used afterwards! |
 |
| But the main reason why it was a little different for us this time was that it was the first spent at our Norfolk retreat! |
 |
| I was great fun decorating the place - my favourite was Anna's crocheted snowflake bunting. |
 |
| Soon after we bought it we discovered that the bungalow was called Meadow View and we enjoyed our Christmas lunch looking at the wonderful view. |
 |
| Christmas lunch would not be complete without Christmas pudding... |
 |
| ... then letting it go down in front of the fire... |
 |
| ...or walking it off down the Loke. |
