No, gentle readers, you are not looking at a mutant chicken - THIS was the goose we consumed on Christmas Day. Despite the huge size, I can assure you there was very little left once it was cooked and the Trolls had fallen on it with their usual level of energy. A good time was had by all, and I've even managed to fit in a little quilting in this strange week between Christmas and New Year.
The really cold weather has set in and we've had our first snow of the season; but not on Christmas Day itself, which was unusual. Sitting and quilting, with the cats around me, a crackling fire, Radio 4, and some nice nibbles and drinks, whilst it's snowing outside ranks fairly highly on my list of 'best life experiences', although it lacks the drama and excitement traditionally associated with such ennumerations, I know. I guess that's just ME - much happier, really, at home and being creative than trotting around conquering mountains, running marathons, or taking on the more headline grabbing challenges. I'd be interested to hear what other people think of this, and also what constitutes THEIR best experiences; my guess is the most satisfying ones would usually involve family, friends and cosy times...
A happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year to you all!
