The second half of life..

By twigs

A very 'merry' Christmas

Mum used to make the most glorious sherry trifles (I think she used to get a bit twitchy pouring the sherry over the sponges, "accidentally" soaking them.  I remember really liking the sponge layer!)  I decided a sherry trifle would be a lovely dessert today, and added a bit of kiwi summer using mango, fresh strawberries and fresh bluberries.  I made it in Nanna's old and very well-used bowl.  3 layers of trifle - 3 layers of family.  There's something in that.  All part of the day's quiet reflection.

I hope everyone has had their own kind of special Christmas - whatever that means for you :)
