25th Dec - Our Christmas day

Merry Christmas once again and hope you grab a bargain at Boxing day sales!!!

We woke up on the 25th to a bright and sunny day which meant that we would be able to eat our lunch on the lovely terrace overlooking the rooftops of our neighbours.


The rooftops

We exchanged presents (Mark got a great mens leather and silver braclet whilst Tam got a lovely black necklace and a print of Carcassone).

Family and friends called throughout the morning (thanks!) before we got down to preparing lunch/dinner. We started off with an endive, goats cheese and walnut tart, followed by a chicken, pistachio and prune terrine, then onto a cassoulet for mains and finally an almond tart. What a nice way to spend the day, eating and cooking together. It was all accompanied by a Breton cider and a Bordeaux Red.
