'TOAST'

That's what I will be watching tonight on BBC TV. Over Christmas I've been enjoying reading one of Nigel Slater's books, 'Eating for England.' It's about the British and their food --- entertaining little snippets about the food we eat.
I like what he says about the After Eight Mint (I've probably eaten a whole box this Christmas).
You know how annoying it is when you go to get one, only to find your son and his mate have got there before you, and all that's left in the box are those empty little envelopes!









Pleased to say we are lucky to have running water all day today (off in the evening) but parts of N.I. still have no water. My son told me he washed his hair in 'Evian'. Then maybe he does that everyday.

Water please...

Just a little bit of N.I. water would do.

White Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM DONEGAL

Christmas Eve......

...and a Christmas card

Santa Claus.

Went out today to Dobbies Garden World for last bits of shopping. It was very quiet due to the freezing weather.
Could have sworn I saw Santa Claus.

By the light of the silvery sun.....

It's -6*c in my porch this lunchtime and this is the view from my living room window.
The sun is masquerading as the moon.

Florentines.

I usually make Fifteens at Christmas but today I thought I'd try making some Florentines . They just look Christmassy to me.
I didn't put the chilli in mine!

Snowpeople.

- 6*C out today and I've seen all kinds of snowpeople....

and my grand - daughter gave me a pop - up snowman card.

LIDL.

I said to my husband, "What shall I write in my blog today?"
He said, "What does it matter, it's the most boring blog in the world."
Why don't you put, "Went to LIDL."
So I did!


I also went to my sons house, drank mulled wine and admired the Christmas tree!

Snow.

Northern Ireland has had the heaviest snowfall for 25 years over the last few days and today I've been out snapping.
I went to Saintfield Co.Down to do some shopping. The sun was shining and the scenery was like a Christmas card.
