We had Julie’s parents visiting over
Xmas and New Year. Unlike their previous Christmas visit (2009), this year
there was no blizzard to contend with!

Xmas morning: time to start drinking!

Xmas morning: and who’s invading my
kitchen!

There’s a goose to
prepare!


With the goose in the oven, there’s plenty of time for a long walk

Leda joined us for Xmas day

The cook got quite hammered!

The goose is well and truly cooked – very nice

Sandy’s extra-special Xmas pub. Not sure how much booze went into it, but after flaming it, it
took an hour and a half to go out!

After the meal, we open the prezzies –
that is if Graham can stay awake

Ines joined us for Boxing Day. Time for another walk

Ines instructs Julie in the fine art of making German potato
dumplings

They went very well with buffalo stew

Two days of gluttony!

And that Xmas pud is still burning!
