Christmas duties
With three young children, Christmas is always an exciting and fun time with the constant need to keep the kids entertained during their holidays; the ever present threat of internecine warfare breaking out; finding time to wrap and hide the presents; and, cooking. And eating and drinking.
We had a lovely time, with the kids thoroughly enjoying themselves, and the two head chefs cooking up a (if I say so myself) delicious spread whilst the traditional angst and worry about cooking times and co-ordination of courses for 9 guests somewhat eased with a couple of bottles of champagne.
I topped and tailed the meal with soup and dessert being my responsibility - broccoli and cream cheese soup and a whisky fruit tart - surrounding the usual turkey, ham and all the trimmings. All washed down with a nice glass of wine or two.
