Miss Cottage, The Boy & I on Christmas day.Empty Advent calendar
Beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree
"New" vintage dog which was a gift from dear Mrs Custard, with friend, both bedecked with Miss Cottage's pom-poms!
Stairs decked with lovely cards from near & far.
Paper chains in the kitchen
More pom-poms
Even the Aga has a few reindeer friends....
Table set with festive finery & the best cutlery which only comes out a few times a year as it has to be polished & hand washed!
Mmmmmm....sherry trifle...
Peeling the vegetables
Yorkshire puddings before...
...and after!
Homemade nut roast
The potatoes & vegetables are ready!
The roast beast (or two)
A plate full of deliciousness
A Christmas hug!
Hope you all had as enjoyable & peaceful day as we did in the Cottage!
What a lovely Christmas you had all looks lovely and delicious.
ReplyDeleteoh, this post was cruel, just cruel! I ADORE yorkshire pudding! what's nut roast? love Miss Cottage's pom-poms - they seem to be all the rage now! If I could find some yarn I might make some myself :-) That's one of the few things I have NOT collected over my lifetime, but maybe now I have an excuse to start! Explain your peeler to me - in the carrot picture. LOVE love LOVE trifle. It's one my holiday stand-bys when I'm actually doing a holiday meal for, you know, people :-) It would be lost on The Child. Your new vintage dog is DARLING...and those CHILDREN are not children anymore! What a delightful family :-) Merry Christmas to you and them xoxo Bettye

Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas. I love the picture of a Chrsitmas hug. We have a black cat and that looks like a picture that might have been taken at our house instead of yours.

Your beautiful home looks like I always *think* ours will at the holidays -at least in my mind. The actual reality is nowhere even vaguely like it. We were lucky to get the tree up this year. Beautiful black kitty!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics - I hardly took any. Memory failing - age or alcohol, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry all over again look at those photos of your delicious Christmas dinner!
