I was intending to do a Christmas day bloggeau complete with a few autumn photos but, as usual, what with one thing and another, I sort of ran out of time. Am now just about to watch the Queen's speech on telly before hurtling downstairs to knock up smoked salmon with scrambled eggs followed by chicken with spuds, sprouts, carrots, bread sauce and gravy followed by mince pies, ice cream and lychees. Ooh, it's all go.
