Christmas in Wales

Lisbeth's back home full of her trip to Wales. She is tired after the journey as the traffic was terrible and it took ages to get back. Apart from that, she says she had a great time with lots of eating, drinking, laughing; catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

It seems to have been a real food fest. Over the two and a half days they ate rabbit stew, pheasant casserole and roasted pheasant. There were roast parsnips and potatoes, carrots, swede, sprouts, red cabbage, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, chestnuts etc., etc. To drink, there was home-made beer and home-made cider, champagne, home-made liqueurs and lots of wine from France. There was home-made cheesecake, mince pies, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake. There were different kinds of breads; home-made garlic butter; various cheeses and home-made preserves. Before leaving today, they had breakfast of venison sausages, eggs, bacon, smoked salmon, cheeses, warm bread and preserves, coffee with frothy milk....... I can't go on.........

She says she's much more roundy than when I last saw her!
