Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2006 - busy but enjoyable

I finally got to bed at about 1.30am on Christmas Day morning and was up again and in the kitchen to commence preparation of breakfast, canapes and lunch by about 8.15am. Busy, busy! - but very enjoyable and, thankfully, entirely successful.:

8.45am - preparing breakfast. 3.45pm - 'Plating-up' the starter course for lunch 4.00pm - lunch is served. 4.40pm - the turkey is revealed. 5.00pm - Bill toasts the turkey. Boxing Day 2.00pm - Bill can relax. Click here to see larger images.
