Christmas pud time

One of two days a year I do a bit of baking, both for Christmas. It didnt take long to mix up, then 8 hours of steaming. Good job I started it early.

Mollie and I had plans to start on our sewing projects we have planned as Christmas presents. It took us a while to get going, and we talk more than we sew, but eventually after cutting out a few pieces, Mollie took me through the first item. As they are to be presents for family, I can't tell you what they are or show you photos, but we were pleased with the quality of the results, although less so with the quantity. In total just 3 made. I have packaged up some fabric and cotton to take to mums, and hope to borrow Manda's sewing machine to see what I can make over the next week.

Jon cooked a roast dinner, i made a quick dash to feed the hens in the rain, then I had a quick chat with mum, and the evening viewing was 'I'm a Celebrity' which is Mollie's favourite. The weekend has flown, and Ralph has stuck firmly by my side throughout. Tomorrow morning I will spend with Jon as he has taken the day off to spend with me. Then heading back to Hoddesdon ready for work on Tueday.
