Christmas Day

Mine and Dave's first proper Christmas Day together! We started the day with cream cheese and smoked salmon bagels whilst opening all our presents. Santa was good to me this year (Dave) and bought me a beautiful pearl necklace plus tickets to see Cats, my favourite ever musical, in Perth! Lucky me :)

We then decided to go for a pre-dinner walk, as it was still quite early, to the Royal Botanic Gardens; surprisingly there were lots of people about having picnics and eating out at the various restaurants around Circular Quay.

Christmas dinner consisted of the obligatory turkey (first one I've ever cooked!), roast potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkin, peas, carrots, stuffing, cranberry sauce and various other things! The turkey was deliciously moist - I was very pleased with it. Dessert was a Christmas trifle made by my own fair hands, which was also delicious. The rest of the day was spent watching Christmas TV and eating the mince pies and fruit cake that I had made a few days before.


To match our traditional English Christmas dinner, it even rained, English style - very fitting and it made a big, warm meal not so silly in the southern hemisphere!
