A Breath Of Fresh Air

After a late and leisurely breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, we rounded up the presents that have been decorating the living room floor since Christmas Day and reluctantly called time on the Christmas festivities.

To alleviate that empty feeling after the kids had set off to their respective homes, Tess and I went for a bike ride on the Levels. It was decidedly bracing but must have worked off at least a sausage roll.

I knocked up a turkey curry with spicy left over potatoes and parsnips when we got back and now we're catching up on the Christmas Strictly and Bake-Offs.
