For the first time in many years I didn’t have to cook Xmas dinner, I was truly excited. Xmas day was a beautiful sunny day so we began the day with a cycle around the Lagoon, showered and changed into some better clothes than our usual slob-wear and joined friends for Bucks Fizz and nibbles. A couple of hours of that and we were off down to Vliho Yacht Club for our Xmas dinner. We had a brilliant day, lots of drinkies, lovely food and as the day flowed into evening, dancing to wear off some of that food and alcohol. We arrived home about 12 hours later, happy, drunk and very tired. Got to be one of the best Xmases I have had.
Boxing Day was a day for lounging around eating all the sweeties Santa had bought and TESTING THE PORK PIE!! It was a momentous occasion and Mark was very excited. It was bought out and placed lovingly on the table. The knife was glinting and Mark was salivating. Lovingly he sliced into the centre and out to the edge. Admired it, examined the colour and texture, and went for the taste test.
Well the look on his face said it all – major disappointment – it didn’t taste like a Pork Pie!!! Never mind we've got my Xmas cake to come…….. We cut into it after tea and it was DELICIOUS!
