I finally caught up with all the wonderful and imaginative TORTOISEs They’re brilliant!

Cranberry sauce and stock made for tomorrow.

Turkey stuffed and made oven-ready and safely back in the fridge.

And the stilton, port, cranberry and apple filo pie made...

JoesDad has been to Buckinghamshire and has returned with his parents (hoping for better behaviour from them than two years ago - wish us luck)

This evening we will go to sing Christmas Carols in Hadlow village square. The village is two miles from here and is where we lived when we first moved to Kent 25 years ago. The village and ex-pats like us turns out, the local brass band plays the music and the vicar is master (mistress currently) of ceremonies. Then we come home for filo pie, jacket potatoes and salad.

Christmas properly starts in Hadlow for us. When the children were small it was a great way to wear them out before bed on Christmas Eve!

YYYYYYYYYYuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And points for stilton ! ! !
Sounds like a lovely day, as long as the in-laws behave themselves!
Have fun!

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Christmas Eve. Been out all day. Just caught up on all the chat in the CDR. All the gifts are beautiful. It is so nice to see all the thought that went into the gifts. The good prep on CDR looks so yummy, it is making me hungry. Not only are you guys such fantastic Tortoise parents but you seem to be great cooks as well. Sabine those photos are gorgeous by the way. Okay got to go take something to my mother in law. So will catch up later again.

Merry Christmas Eve, Carol! ! !
Say hi to your mother-in-law!
I am now hungry, too!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yes!!! Just make sure it does NOT involve cooking!!!!! [emoji2]

I thought about posting some relevant recipes on Hedgehog Forum.
But I didn't.

How expensive was the Walter PK 380, Ed ? If I may ask . @ZEROPILOT

It was just $399 and $20 off. So $379.
....Plus $5 to verify my gun license.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Ed, this was a great TORTOISE. Thank you so much and a very Happy Christmas to you x

I'm very happy that you like your TORTOISE.
It was a strange combination of items.

I'd previously found one for over $500.
It's slightly larger than the one it replaces. You can kind of see it in my pocket.
"Imprinting" is illegal. So I might need to purchase a holster.

This is the Cold Dark Room.
Strange is good.
Pretty much compulsory, even.
Nice TORTOISE, Ed!

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I knew/know very little about Jane. Other than the likes, dislikes list mentioning "warm socks".

 

[Yvonne G]

Happy holiday to you all!!

You did well, Ed.
Again.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Happy holiday to you all!!

Happy Christmas Eve, Yvonne!
And Happy Holidays in general!
