CHRISTMAS EVE

 It was the Growers' Market this morning and we got there at 6.15 a.m.  After scanning in with the Covid App I took a quick photo.  The parking area was as full as it usually is at about 9.15 a.m. 

We bought the few items on our list - tomatoes (although ours are large they have not yet started to change colour, peaches (ours are a long way off, lettuce (I have a gap in supply) and avocados which we don't grow here, and half a dozen eggs (just in case).

We were home nice and early and I did some dead heading in the garden before breakfast.  We have just had  a lovely gentle shower.

I have the trifle to finish off with custard and cream and a fruit salad to make and that is it apart from some phone calls. 

Doug and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2021.  Hopefully, with the new vaccines there will be a vast improvement in everyone's lives.

  2. How good to see people in shorts, etc. Cold and miserable here, but we are determined to enjoy Christmas, etc. Out tonight with Wills & Co, then all here tomorrow for lunch. I have a NZ Leg of Lamb for New Year's Eve.

    1. Good that you are all able to go out together. I thought there were restrictions. I think we are having chicken and a ham tomorrow.

  3. Enjoy your Christmas - I love a trifle, and I expect that with your weather it is a better choice. Here we shall be traditional and have Christmas pud with brandy butter.

    1. Thank you, Rosemary, yes, Christmas pudding would be a bit much for me in this weather although it is only forecast to be 25 degrees today. I hope you are able to have a Happy Christmas in these strange times.
