Happy Christmas Sue! We’re off to Borough Market in London to help with our charity’s surplus food distribution, then home for a good but light dinner and a G&T in front of the TV. That’s my Christmas Eve 🙂

Enjoy! I’m let off veggie prep as my nephew and fiancee are hosting. My jobs were the cake and pudding, both made ages ago, so I can relax this evening 🙂
