Another beautiful day in the Frost Giant's lairBreakfast, Bucks Fizz, exchange presents.
Clear and salt front paths,
grit pathways in back garden
Heather did a sterling turn as domestic goddess:
Smoked salmon & creme fraiche on blineys
roast partridge, stuffing, rost potatoes,
sausages wrapped in streaky bacon,
carrot and parsnip mash,
Tangerine & Brandy jelly.
Partridges ready for the ovenDad turned up about 12.30; drinks, blineys, chat.

Lunch around 3pm, collapsed on sofa by 4.30!

I'm really grateful and delighted with this present - for several reasons. Not least, the thought put into it supported by the behind-the-scenes-"intelligence gathering" by that Mr Tuffley, the 007 of 15mm Sci Fi!
Paintwise - I'm stumped - I'm tempted to follow either the GW inspired Mars pattern XXI or Urban Rubble schemes. But I'm most definitely open to suggestions for a complimentary camo paint scheme from you guys.
Hope you are having a good Christmas.
