It really feels like it’s been a long time coming, but finally, finally, finally, finally it’s Christmas Eve, our most favourite day before our MOST favourite day of the year!
Our turkey crown, according to Darrell is defrosted beyond perfection, our stockings hang proud and resplendent waiting to be hopefully filled with a certain degree of pleasurable bulge ....
....... our beds are plumped, in fact they've been plumped twice for the optimum silent night and heavenly peace ..........
.......... and Nigel, bless him, says that he is totally focused and honed, ready, willing and able to eat his own body weight in chocolate, milk or white, but preferably not dark, well ....... except for the odd After Eight and Matchmaker that is!All that’s left to do now is hang up our traditional Christmas Eve lantern to light a candle at around seven o’clock tonight, just before we cosy down, to remember all our loved one who are no longer with us to share this wonderful time, but who are always, always in our hearts. We know they are watching over us from the little, spooky, late great Derek Acorah things that happen now and again ……. and hopefully they'll still be there in the coming year.
This year, as we said, we won't be travelling back to The Homeland for Christmas, sooooooooo we thought we would bring a tiny bit of Wolverhampton back to Evesham (and perhaps even the world) .....
What are we like?
XXX Merry Christmas Everybody XXX

Nigel looks very excited! His chocolate-eating plans reminded me of when I started work in London.
My cricket club used to go on tour, for a week, to Cheltenham. Before this, we used to go on a weekend tour to Hampshire.
There is a tradition, that everyone got fined for something silly, the money going into the beer pot. I was pretty skinny.
One year, in Hampshire, I was fined for eating more than my body weight in the weekend. I did have a big appetite. :)
Merry Christmas to you all. Your amusing, entertaining & informative blog posts have kept me going through a tough year.
