I usually have a turkey crown from M&S, but this year I have a couple of smaller M&S turkey joints already in the freezer.

We normally collect the turkey crown a couple of days before Christmas, but decided to do it differently this year, just to avoid any crowds

I have my turkey crown ordered with Asda as well as a side of salmon to be delivered on 23rd. l got the same last year an it was lovely.

As well as Prawn Cocktail for starters. Still have that on a cruise if there's not much else to tempt me.

And a nice bottle of Blue Nun to help (?) it along.

... it’s only 2 weeks till the afternoons stop getting shorter!  🎉 

Absolutely. Spring’s not that far off either.

 

In Tromso, they last saw the sun a couple of days ago and it won’t reappear for several weeks. I’d hate that. The Scandinavian celebrations when it reappears are no surprise!

😄The memories.  I loved Blue Nun, it made you feel oh so sophisticated. Then came Lambrusco😁 We were so 'with it'.

The post lady has just delivered our first Christmas card this year, my school friend Barbara has obviously decided to get ahead of the rest of us  lol.

No Christmas card this morning, just a card telling us we need to give them £1.50 for a letter with insufficient postage paid on it. No idea who has sent it or whether we want it, but having paid £1.50 online, we have to wait until Tuesday to find out.

Not to mention Watneys draught red barrel.

[Purdey16]

We used to love Leibfraumilch  because we lived in Germany for 16 years and drank most German wines but now I only buy it for the in-laws because of the low alcohol content, it doesn’t do anything for me now I’ve grown up 😁

We thought as we can't cruise at the moment and others on this forum had mentioned Warners(and particularly the hotels) we would give it a try.With 3 course meals, entertainment(Lionel Ritchie Tribute), it will hopefully be a bit like a cruise without the sea sickness!!

Not to mention the two cubes of cheddar and a silver skin onion impaled  on 

a cocktail stick , balanced on a Ritz cracker , with a bowl of ready salted crisp

We really knew how to party back then

You are not allowed party 7, even in tier 1. Only a party 6.

Don't forget the cocktail sausages  and the primula cheese squirted on a ritz cracker as well.

Good idea. A nice sturdy one, after all that leaping.

Oh yea I forgot about tinned sausages and cheesy stuff out of a tooth paste tube .

I used to get scared to go near them cocktail sticks . They used to stack them up 

high on a paper plate . Trying to get one off without a lump of cheese falling off 

the stick was a nightmare . It was like a game of Kerplunk , one false move and 

it was game over . Better to let others go first , that way I never got the blame .

Which were convertible into pretty comfortable seating with a couple of bits of ply and some padding! I should know - we couldn’t afford chairs when we first got married. 4 London telephone directories (remember those) served the same purpose.
