Did you have a 'waffer thin mint' afterwards?

It was the 5 mini desserts...that done me in. Loaded with cream and chocolate and other deliciously dangerous stuff.
Dessert 1. Truffle in chocolate bomb thing.
Dessert 2. A reindeer that was made from prifiteroles filled with hazelnut cream..and had chocolate antlers.
Dessert 3. A very strong mini trifle.
Dessert 4. A mini battenburg cake.
Dessert 5. A thing that looked like a satsuma orange but was made from jelly and sat on a wee pie crust filled with coffee cream.
Oh and I had already eaten a small scone with jam and cream, a mince pie, Turkey, ham abd cranberry sandwiches, brioche with egg mayo, smoked salmon in brown bread with relish and capers, and cucumber with cream cheese sanwiches.

Plus a lot of tea

Everything was small..but they all added up.

I've always thought I'd prefer a really good slice of Victoria sponge or something, rather than all the creamy things. Not that I'd send them back.

That's one way of seeing the liverbirds up close.

Yep.
I brought home a mini battenberg and appreciated it more this morning with a cuppa.

I don’t know how I put up with it tbh. Cheadle pal , Chorlton is too bohemian for me .

Dodging a bullet today

a Yew tree greets the dawn on Christmas Day, just as it has for the best part of 1500 years. when this tree first started growing it was in a Kingdom called Hwicce, Raedwald - the East Anglian King who went on to find fame as the Sutton Hoo burial - hadn't been born yet, and pretty much everyone spoke Brythonic Welsh. there were probably people living nearby who could remember the Romans at Droitwich and Worcester.





Happy Christmas Urbz...

Just spent a while watching a hummingbird going to and from its nest which contains two tiny eggs. Photo a bit dark, but don't want to get too close.

So, basically...some poisonous berries, a fucking great muddy puddle, and some smelly wild animals. And a no doubt smelly tame one. Big deal.

Go and park yourself in the Greyfriar (or the Alehouse) till the queue dies down. (Sorry, it must be grim).
