Good Morning Everyone,
Its wet outside this morning in brackley and dark.
I did the gammon joint last night in slow cooker for a few hours , in cider , left it overnight so the joint should have a nice flavour today when I slice it up.

Good morning All x

What a miserable dark wet day ! I won't be going so far.
My mouth was watering when I read Mick's gammon. Slurp !

Turkey out of the freezer today to thaw in readiness to cook tomorrow. Extra room for bits and pieces from M&S tomorrow.
More mince-pie making today as well as present-wrapping ( which has become a chore to me,sadly ) Ah well never mind, soon be all over, bar the shouting.

Stay well everyone.

Good morning all from quite a bright Scottish Borders.
My to do list is a little shorter as the families won't be staying over after all. It's nice to get advance notice.hmm
Sorry to those like greyd who can't sleep at night.

Good morning everyone,
It’s another wet, grey dismal looking day outside today - I haven’t ventured outdoors yet.
Had the neighbours round last night, so just been finishing off tidying crockery away, unloading the dishwasher, etc.
Today, I’ve got some ironing to do, some washing to dry and tonight’s meal to put into the slow pot, plus a few presents to wrap. (I’m so late with that job this year ?). To be honest, most of it is done, just a few bits left to do.
Your gammon sounds nice mick. I’ll be cooking mine tomorrow. I like the cider idea - think I might give that a try.
It’s the festival of 9 lessons and carols in candlelight in church tonight, so will be going along to that.
Those of you with worries, I hope you soon find peace.
Take care, all. tchsmile

The mystery bottle of Prosecco in my previous post - apparently everyone in our close has one, and no-one has any idea who the Prosecco fairy is! We all woke up to one outside the front door! What a lovely gesture.

BlueSapphire - it is a lovely gesture from whoever. Enjoy!

Terrific BS. Enjoy it. I think that is what Christmas is all about. My own 'amazing' share is that I've just spent an hour in the garden gathering leaves as it's so mild here up North. Even managed to get them all down to the local tip. Can't recollect ever achieving this in December. Wonderful!

Sounds like Father Christmas has called round early, BlueSapphire. Enjoy. Cheers! tchsmile

I shall save it till New Year as I am on my own, and it would be wasted if I opened it today as I go to DD tomorrow. I already have a bottle of champagne to take to DD. I did feel tempted, though!
