Thanks to my dearest Surrey friends for making my first, and my last Christmas spent in Surrey a good one (my previous three Christmases was spent in London)... We started our celebrations on Christmas eve, by marinating the Roast Chicken with Lemon, Paprika, Herbs, Salt and Pepper, and I was treated to a chicken dance by Jon, together with the chicken resusitation act, and the XXX act.... funny!! Dinner was Wanton soup made by yours truely!!! Something to remind us of home, turned out quite well, I suppose...
Christmas Day itself, we dumped the chicken in the oven, and opened our Christmas presents! Received a mini coffee maker from Jon, a MnS toiletry bag with royal jelly and honey body wash and moisturiser from Janet, a Pooh Bear and Piglet pillow from WanFang, and a Hot Chocolate Glass from Terrence... Thanks people!
Then we feasted, and I do mean feasted... had our roast chicken with potatoes, brussel sprouts, parsnips, carrots with mash and barbecue sauce, creamy leek sauce and gravy... and then dessert was New York Cheesecake and fruit medley consisting of watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, erm, yeah. All these washed down with champagne, Barcadi Breezer Watermelon and Heineken... Yes, a lot of food and a lot of alcohol... good fun though... loads of fun, loads of laughter, loads of jokes, loads of madness, friends, fun, alcohol and good food, what more could you ask for?? :)
And so after a long night that was yesterday, today was a totally lazing around day... to recuperate from the madness that was the past few nights I suppose.... woke up juz when the sun was about to set, and caught up on news with friends back home... then baked some cookies.... nice to have a slow lazy day after a bit of madness...
BUT am going to go out in about 4 hours' time to go to town for the Next sale which is starting at 5am!!! Yes, you heard me right, I am going to go for a sale at 5am... should really take a nap first... but i still need to shower etc etc... maybe i won't sleep after all... we'll see how it goes...
Juz put up some photos below of Dublin (below my Christmas post)... more to come soon!!! And more videos of Dublin and Christmas to come!!!! Watch this space!
