Christmas Eve

Sunday 24th December

A delightful morning of preparing an Australian Christmas dinner of turkey roll marinated in orange and rosemary, asparagas, a lovely salad and Christmas Couscous. Not to mention the deserts – Apple juice Berry Jelly and White Chocolate cups with toblerone mouse and berries. Absolutely yummy, even Fiona’s brother who used to be a Chef was well impressed. My role was to supervise, chop up a few nuts, and raid her holly bush to make some mini table decoations – so hands up to Fiona for an amazing dinner. I also met Fiona’s landlords today who are from England, not only are they from England but they are from near to Manchester, and refreshingly still have the accent to prove it, a home from home speciality being so far away at Christmas time.
