Christmas in England- 22nd till 28th December


We took a short break from Portugal to spend Christmas in England with my family.  There wasn't any snow sadly but the mild weather did make the Hudson entertaining trips to the park (and the grown ups trips to the pub) a bit more pleasant.

We were very spoiled, not only with presents but with amazing food.  A big thanks to our hosts David and Justine, and to the cooks- head chef Sarah and sous chef's David and Justine.

David mixing the largest ever bowl of Spaghetti vongole.  Nom nom.

Christmas breakfast featuring Dad's fabulous pancakes.


A magnum of Verve goes a surprisingly short distance!

Hudson enjoying the first of his two Christmas buses!



Head chef Sarah with delicious, delicious lamb.....
...that deserves a close up. Yum!




Roast duck fat potatoes.  Need I say more.

Vegetable things.  From memory I think they're called salads but I'd have to confirm.



Ma and Pa.




Blue Steel.

A disturbing and hilarious game of "guess who's face you are wearing"!
We were also thrilled to get the chance to catch up with Morgan's cousins Sophie and Rob.  And for once we remembered to take a couple of photos!!
