Our own Yule Log has burned all night, and is now no more than ashes (sigh!).
I wish you all a very happy Christmas. Cro xx

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Merry Christmas, Cro. I hope your dinner comes out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot to do today, my main aim will be not to forget anything! My fingers are crossed.

DeleteMerry Christmas Cro. Am I right you are cooking the Christmas meal? Ted is for the first time, I plan to sit and read with a flute or two of Cremant de Loire. For weeks he has been making copious notes.

I'm the 'savoury' cook; Lady M does the sweet things. Cooking should be fun, make sure he has plenty of Crémant too!
