    We had Christmas day today, well Christmas dinner (with all the works) pud, crackers etc. The reason is our son requested it some time ago as wednesday he is off to Bolivia for 9 months and doesn't think he will get the same food out there so we had it today. He will be working with the Baptist church, a rehab centre and the University Christian Union as a volunteer to improve his Spanish so we hope he will be in safe hands (not that we are anxious - much!)
    Turkey pie and leftover pud tomorrow so I guess we will have to walk that off like we did today! [​IMG]
