A Very Traditional Christmas
Aboard Beez Neez
 Beez Neez festively
decorated.
 The little boat Dolores bought us hung in the conservatory.
   Christmas Eve is always a serious business when it comes to the
skipper settling to the business of giblets and bits.
Not for the faint heart to sit anywhere near, as there is a certain amount of
noise involved in the consumption...... But the result is as always a happy boy.
Yeah.
 Christmas morning on Beez
We woke on Christmas morning to cards
from each other, the Moths (and lovely pressies), Lord and Lady Mac (and a
hummingbird calendar), Adam, Jenny and Faye. Huge thank you xx xx. Now I know
many of you know Bear has much to put up with in me, but, let me put a scenario
forward as an example that it is indeed a two way street. I bought Bear a new
series of New Tricks (new to us) and as it was still early, why not watch a
couple of episodes. The start of each episode gives a few minutes flavour of the
story, then the opening titles. Up comes the images of Amanda Redman and as the
second one flicks by, my dearly beloved pipes in, Oh
wasn’t she married to Bruce Forsyth. Ummmm no I think you’ll find
that particular lady was called Anthea Redfern............Oh.
  Very traditional
lunch.
We have to say, the second chef and
I, to produce the above on a two burner stove, tiny oven and weaker burning
butane, we did good. Bear always has his covered in bread sauce, but under it is
roast turkey, sliced sirloin and ham, a sausage, stuffing, roast potatoes,
parsnips, carrots, peas, cauliflower, marrow, broad beans and mushrooms in
gravy.
  We toasted
friends and family and I wore my new shirt – thank you Moth and AMoth, I
love it. Later mince pie and squirt, squirt cream. I won at backgammon but lost
on Boxing Day.

ALL IN ALL
LOVELY
WONDERFULLY QUIET, CHILLED
