Son and fiancé spent lots of Saturday here with us, their little dog was with them of course. Lunch, afternoon tea, constant conversation and present swapping as they are off to Cornwall for Christmas and New Year.
The last few things I've had on order have now arrived, so that saves me the postage stress. I'm still stuck on what to give Hubby though, but amazon have kindly given me a free prime trial account so if I suddenly have a brainwave I could get it next day. I've notes and reminders set up to make sure I cancel the prime account before I get charged for it.
We've had our only social Christmas meal with friends this week. The hotel restaurant almost empty and just six of us spaced round a large table. Sadly two of our friends had to cancel as their son had tested positive. Think we made enough noise to make it feel like a room full.
I've been itching for ages to try making crumpets and this first attempt was quite successful. Think next time I'll have the pan a little cooler so they cook slower and I need to experiment with different utensils as my metal tongs slipped on the stainless steel rings.
I'm wrapping the presents this weekend. Daughter has brought over the vegan main bit to be in place of the turkey for three of them, all the veg is vegan anyway of course. Hubby has the shopping booked in for next week. So I can relax before all the cooking starts and then have family fun.
I may not get a chance to post another update so I'll wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Whenever I've accidentally triggered Amazon Prime I cancel immediately but the Prime account still lasts for the month. I cannot get it to take it off. This is a pain as it then means I can't use Amazon at all for a month until the Prime is deactivated as I don't want their system to know I've benefited from their forcing something upon me. Essentially I think it is misleading and deliberately set up so you accidentally select buy now which activated the Prime month free membership. I try not to use Amazon but sometimes its the only option to get something I need.
Love the crumpet making! xxx
Oh if they've forced it on me I want the benefit of the quick delivery and I make sure it's cancelled long before they get any money from me.
So good having my special rings to make crumpets in, thank you.
