Christmas Spirit

Despite breaking all known food safety rules we had an excellent Christmas. Roast chicken, roast potatoes of the super crispy kind, carrots and peas courtesy of Morrison's supermarket and a lovely gravy. All served in our best china dog bowls.
 
A sail change later saw the next course arrive - peaches and evaporated milk. A little siesta and as few jobs as possible saw the day rounded off with butterscotch dumplings. 
Not THE butterscotch dumplings, but close enough.  
 
Mind you these treats nearly did not arrive as the flour bag exploded and took a bit of sorting out, followed by the lid flying off the skimmed milk container for a second round of dustpan and vacuum cleaner. Dave was not amused as the weighing station is his work bench and it all went over the boxes strapped underneath - nuts and bolts flour and milk, very tasty! But we had very full tummies for bed time!
 
We are going slow as there is not a lot of wind, still 250 miles to reach Antigua! And the bumpies have returned!

Loads of love to you all,
 
Jenny and Dave.
