Christmas in June


Well, its all over! Eighteen of our croquet club members sat down to (hopefully) enjoy the turkey, ham and all the trimmings served up by yours truly and two willing helpers. With limited cooking facilities at the club (one hotplate and one microwave to be exact) most of the food was prepared at home and then 'rushed' to the clubroom (in my case 15 minutes away) Oh how I longed for a platewarmer, I hate serving up a hot meal on cold plates, but beggars can't be choosers. The Christmas Pudding and brandy sauce, mince pies and truffles were a big success, and for those who do not like Chrissy Pud there was a beautiful lemon cheesecake. Even Father Christmas enjoyed his Pudding, as the photo shows!!

So that is it, after a few Christmas Carols, (Australian words-so relatively crude) for another year.
