Dates have to be in a 'lozenge' box for authenticity, left untouched and unopened until everything else has been eaten... http://brianclegg.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/anyone-fancy-christmas-date.html


Warnick's Advocaat and Dubonnet are must haves in the drinks dept, best served from a pine clad bar in the corner of the living room...

Figs - dried and compressed into the shape and consistency of a small brick.

Tube of smarties with a get-the-ball-bearing-into-the-clown's-mouth game on the lid.

The leatherette cover bought to hold festive Radio Times.

The smell of simmering sprouts on Xmas eve...

Sherry & babycham for the grown-ups & definitely advocaat. Ready made snowballs are just not the same.

And a Sindy doll, an annual, a board game & a selection box from Santa every single year!

Great day today, just the 5 of us for dinner, although we did pop to the Ivy House for a festive beer before starting the cooking. Family in Ireland were on skype.


Cooking was a team effort with me and the missus, i do the turkey and roasties and she does the rest.


I have already had two snoozes since dinner.


Dulwich Fox, hope you managed to have a good day.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
