I do hope that you are enjoying a lovely and relaxing Christmas break. I was very lucky to be able to sit back yesterday and have Mr Chalk and his two sous-chefs prepare lunch, and do all the washing up! What a treat! I did have trouble not interfering, however, having to be held back from offering to check the roasties/make the gravy/do the custard. This was difficult for me as I always do the cooking, and I just wanted to make sure that everything was perfect.
And it was perfect, but really it wouldn’t have mattered if it hadn’t been. The well-used phrase ‘the most important thing is being with the family’ is actually true, and I for one was incredibly happy to be with my lovely family. Mr Chalk and I are fortunate in having two wonderful, caring, interesting boys (men now, really). We are so blessed. So we spent Christmas with the boys and my mum, and it was a perfect day.
The gravy wasn’t quite right, though …..
Very best wishes,
