A pre festive meal ...

 Has Winter arrived your side yet? There is a definite chill to the air & since our clocks went back, it is now dark & cold too - the type of weather that makes one want to hibernate.

We had a meal for friends & family who won't be together at Christmas this year with some favourite foods - roast gammon & chipolates, honey glazed roasted parsnips, butternut, sweet potatoes,  garlic new potatoes with apple sauce.

This type of meal can be prepared in advance so that it just needs time management to get it all ready together. Do you like meals that are less stressful?

The hot trays are brought on to the counter to warm plates & keep food piping hot as I juggle oven space ... You might have spied my coloured glass & berry lights lit in the window - it always looks cheerful with them on ...

 Favourite winter / festive food is heaven on a plate. Little Godson at the meat hot plate ...

I set the conservatory table & sideboard with pre-festive colour which looked fresh & bright because it is different to our festive reds, gold & greens.

Stacy Sparkle made it home from uni & the Godsons & their parents joined us too ...

Not yet festive but an early meal for those who will not be together at Xmas. The pre-festive decorations are shown on this post ...
