Christmas Day In Pictures

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!

  2. oh, 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. Lovely pics - I hardly took any. Memory failing - age or alcohol, I wonder?
