Thursday

We cured our own salmon last night using Mackmyra Swedish whisky.

We tried it for breakfast this morning on Eggs Royale with a mustard and dill Bernaise sauce.

Sticking with the London Underground theme for Christmas, I decided to carve a roundel shaped stamp to make my own hand-printed wrapping paper.

I printed the gifts for each person with a different colour, so that they can have their own tube line on Christmas day and there's no need for gift tags.

I also built a tube train out of Lego to go around the bottom of the tree.

Bobbin doesn't seem happy about the new Santa hat we treated her to.

Her Christmas portrait is going to look a little grumpy this year.
