Wow isn't it mild outside. Just been out to turn the Christmas lights on for the day.

Did my morning walk of ~2k steps in just a fleece.

He's back!! The fool

Just had my first ever Christmas day bike ride, watched a Heron take off a few feet in front of me and watched a family of swans glide down the river, perfect.

Just about to put the half a cured pig Gammon joint in the oven, checked the cooking time 3 1/2hrs.

Ah well dinner at 3 O'clock then.

Just back from a walk, lovely warm morning with the sun on our faces

No booze for me, driving to family later for Christmas dinner.

I did manage to drink most of a bottle of Prosecco last night, as a usual teetotaller it was not altogether unpleasant

Merry Christmas to all Mundane CC'ers

Our Turkey quarter went in at nine this morning on low and there are lovely cooking smells coming from the kitchen.

Champagne and "Carols from King's".

Well... Gravel is cooking the Christmas lunch and wanted to know the oven temperature setting. Silly boy Googled 'turkey temperature' and got the weather forecast for Istanbul.

We've been banded from the kitchen, daughter and son are cooking. We've given our neighbours a treat with our smoker that's been going overnight cooking 5kl's of pork shoulder, smells delicious.

I would never starve though. He could catch the fish, cook it, and set up camp in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Like for the cooking, not for the campsite, nor open fire near the woods.

One of Ray Mears or Fab Foodie in shorts. I can see a distinct similarity. Does Ray ride a bicycle?

Nor the grasslands. Let's send him a Primus stove for Christmas. The surrounding environment will thank you all.
