After a relaxing morning
with my wife and son, opening presents, we headed over, late afternoon, to have
dinner with my wife’s parents and sister, utilising my father-in-law’s huge,
fully extended refectory dining table (which could seat half a monastery) and my
mother-in-law’s roast dinner expertise, today producing the traditional turkey accompanied
by sausages, pigs in blankets, stuffing (wet & dry), an assortment of
vegetables (boiled & roast potatoes, mashed carrot & swede, cauliflower
& broccoli in cheese sauce, sweetcorn, roast parsnips), and variety of
sauces (bread, cranberry and gravy); plates were cleared (mine twice), then
time was taken to exchange gifts, enabling room to be made for dessert - a
choice of Christmas pudding or chocolate cheesecake.
