Then it was off to Mairead's friends Fiona's to sit on a large balcony in the sun watching a great view drinking jugs of ice cold Pimms. For starters we had a curry cheese dip baked in a loaf of bread. Absolutely delicious. Then we had a selection of creamy roast veg and veggie food all delicious including yummy sweet potatoes totally different than at home. I made a dodgy gravy but luckily I warned everyone to taste it before putting it on their dinner and ruining Christmas!
Then we all but rolled down a hill to a lovely wood that was more like a rainforest to build up an appetite for desert. Desert was a mouth watering chocolate mousse. We ended the night playing board games which were good fun even if our brains had slowed down to close to comatosed with all the food, sun and constant drink .
Most definitely the strangest Christmas I ever had even though the feeling of relaxing inactivity and over eating and drinking was very familiar. Great crack.
P.S. They have cool trees here. I can't remember the name of them and the flowers only come out on them at Christmas - bright red -pictured.
