Two grandsons on one photo

half a world apart!

Isn't technology wonderful.    It was good to have them over last night and then the link up through Skype finished it off.

It's getting to look a lot like Christmas!

Presents for the neighbours, including my first attempt at Stollen, for Shirley, hope she enjoys hers as much as we are enjoying ours!

A very merry Christmas to all my Readers!!

And this is our New Zealand Christmas tree in the garden, putting on its annual show, isn't it just so pretty?

Flammkuchen comes to Kingston!

And made by a REAL German!

Just the BEST Christmas present!

Just in time for Christmas, it was ready for collection.   There will be no stopping her now.

An early Christmas Present

Something else to while away the days!

Then this turns to 

Still eating, still baking!

But my bread is getting more Germanic every bake!   Now I have Eva's recipe, even down to the caraway seeds, and bake it in my lovely German ceramic pot.   Guten Appetit.

Enough to make you feel homesick?

Mandie, just look what you are missing!   Poor George has to bring his washing round to Grandma!

We had a visitor

He came (complete with his dirty linen) and will be back tomorrow to pick it up and clear out our gutters!   Fair exchange?
