Sunday 27th December 2009.
The best day by far over the Christmas period; no wind or rain and the sun starting to come out and the temperature going up! Eggs and Bacon for breakfast started the day as we meant to go on, as it was Sunday we had a special roast, Rib of Beef on the bone, cooked rare and served with oven baked Onions in a white sauce, puree of Carrots and baby new Turnips, whole Green Beans, Honey glazed Parsnips and Baby Herb crusted roast Potatoes; I made a Red wine gravy to fill the Yorkshire puddings! It reminded us of a very dear friend many years ago who used to Roast a whole Fillet of Beef smeared in Mustard and made the gravy/jus roti with a whole bottle of Chateau Lafitte Rothchild 1973, those were the days!! After a late lunch we sat out on the balcony in the sunshine with a clear blue sky and the views of Africa for the first time as we had our tea (No great Coffee drinkers) with our Xmas chocolates and After Eight mints! The picture below shows Joan in her Sunday best finery.
PS; We had another bottle of a fine Rioja with the Beef !
