Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!
I hope everyone had a wonderful day, whatever you did!

The above bowl of raspberries and strawberries was my contribution to Christmas dinner over with Ruby and Margie. Pretty funny – I didn’t actually know I was expected over there until last minute.
I must have missed the conversation that included those plans!

We had a lovely dinner. Roasted turkey roll and a million baked veggies. Yum.
Jeff has been on nightshift up at the hospital, so we saved him a plate!
After I rolled home I did some gardening and made some soap.
(As one does on Christmas Day)

So many snow peas! They are going mad right now!

I pulled up the last of the purple garlic too.

Check out the fabulous present I got from my sister Rosemary:

Soap dishes! Prototypes for me to test out and display my soap on!
Rosemary had taken up ceramics recently and I love the things she is making! I think they are beautiful!!

One of my friends little girls baked us these adorable snowmen biscuits to say thanks for all the fresh food!!
We barter stuff during the year and they also buy a lot of my excess tomatoes.
These tasted so good and the little girls were so adorable – a bit shy handing them over but really pleased as I was pretty excited to be given home baked goods!!

Nothing much planned for tomorrow.
I have a ton of raspberries picked at another friends place to do something with and I am eyeing off the basil that has grown back well… More pesto!

Enjoy your holiday time!
Cheers
