The last card is done, still to write. One pressie to wrap. The Royal Icing on the Christmas cake is done (a bit late but I only did the marzipan this morning - it will be fine), the sherry trifle is just waiting for the cream on top tomorrow - half a bottle of brandy has fed the cake so that should be good, and a lot of sherry in the trifle.....never mind we are not driving afterwards. The potatoes, parsnips and carrots are ready to throw in the roasting tin tomorrow - they are out in the conservatory, a very good extra fridge in this weather. The gravy cake is made and cooling - those that know me will know that this is a lemon meringue pie without the pastry but on a biscuit base instead. After it has sat for a day, the meringue leaks into the base as a brown gravy like liquid. Sounds strange but tastes great and there is never any left.
Now it is time for my hard working husband to finish off his Christmas quiz for our friends, then we can settle down with a nice drink and gather ourselves ready for the onslaught.
Hope you all have a great time tomorrow - and remember that this life is not a rehearsal, live it to the full. Remember those who have gone, but cherish the thought that their lives were good.
