That all sounds wonderful, Gilli! I don't know if I can make it on time...but I do wish I could try.
We're being quiet this year...but I do have a lovely chunk of beast that's going in to the oven in about 5 minutes! And the champagne is cold....
Dear Gilli,
I don't know why everytime I click on your link, it doesn't take me to your blog, so I have to find your link on Barbara's sidebar. There I can go visit you here. Just to greet you Happy Christmas and
enjoy the New Year 2008!!
Cheers,
