It’s been a tough year, hasn’t it? 2020.

Here in the UK we’re stuck in another grim version of lockdown. When will it ever end?

On Saturday, to cheer ourselves up me and the husband had a Christmas dinner for two: turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets, roasties and my favourite, Brussels sprouts. We also had Christmas pudding and cream, followed by after dinner mints. Then we watched the final of Strictly Come Dancing and saw Bill Bailey aged 56, win! Yes! His competitors were 19, 19 and 32.

And we went to bed feeling a little stuffed and sick, but it was worth it.

We had Christmas dinner again on Sunday because it’s impossible to cook a dinner like this that only lasts a day. It’s a tough life.

We hope to spend Christmas Day with our family – if Boris and his doomsayers don’t cancel it in our tier like they have in London.

Let’s hope that 2021 brings us some joy.

Merry Christmas!!! I hope you are able to spend it with those you love.

Happy reading
