Blogmas - day 1

So can I blog every day leading up to Christmas? It's not beyond the realm of possibility, but given that I'm starting this post at 10 past 11pm on the 1st of December.... er.....

Well, I've had a lovely day today. My wonderful mother has been over for the weekend so we had sausages and Glüvein on Friday evening at the German market. Mmmm.... Sausages....

When we got home on the Friday we got more Glüvein from lidl, and my lovely Hugsand set off the rest of the fireworks we had leftover from Bonfire night while mum and I played with sparklers.

On Saturday, the lovely Hugsand had to work so mum and I walked the 5.6 miles into town, then rewarded ourselves with another sausage and more Glüvein. EMmmm.... Sausages....

Then we came home and I made southern fried chicken with corn, cabbage, mash and milk gravy.

Finally today I had a lovely bath, we went for another walk, about 3 miles this time, then we got home, had roast pork and the first mince pies of the season! I made mincemeat last time mum was here about 5 weeks ago and we had to try it out so I made 8, 4 with the new mincemeat and 4 with last year's. Last year's was so much better! It was all mature and that. Home made pastry too, mmm..... pastry....

We got the decorations out, well the lovely Hugsand risked life and limb by climbing on a stool on top of a chair to get into the loft, but now all the festive things are down and we can start sparklifying the house! 

I should have pictures to show of all of this, but I had to put all my pictures on the laptop as I ran out of storage on my phone and I'm blogging in bed while the laptop's downstairs and the alarm's set. Maybe I'll see if I can edit them in tomorrow. 

Oh well, either way, the lovely and I are trying to do vlogmas for shits and giggles this month so I'll pop a link on this post once we finally get day one edited and uploaded! Yay us!

How did your December begin? Was it super festive or are you not feeling the cheer yet?

Love and kisses, H.
