27th December.....
'Good King Wenceslas
Once looked out
On the feast of Stephen'
Meanwhile, back on the island we await the next storm. It's a Ukrainian Snowstorm. Haven't had one of those before.
Described as a polar air mass from the Ukraine. It could bring snow even to our little corner of the country.
The 3 girls left on boxing day for the delights of Athens.
They were lucky the hydrofoil wasn't cancelled. It was a bit rough they said but the sea sick pills worked and they slept some of the way.
Its only an hour and a bit.
28th
Very rough seas.
No boats sailing
Their brother, and cousin, had his own happy Xmas in Athens.
Playing poker with his friends and partying.
Good bro though. He cleaned the house before the girls arrived
Got rid of the beer bottles and bbqed some souvlaki.
That 'boy' is a keeper
The girls from the accountancy office, and Luli, are excellent bakers too. They made us a gingerbread house.
Amazing.
I really don't want to break it up and eat it.
Can't eat it anyway. Sweet eating is over for me till easter. I hope.
Has anyone got a recipe for using gingerbread houses. I imagine it would make a really good base for a cheesecake
I hope your current batch of storms blow away.
ReplyDeleteI see we are due another one on Monday and Tuesday when we fly home!
Getting warmer. By New Year we should just be cold. You've got bad luck with the weather again.
DeleteWe are getting a storm on New Years Eve and England is getting the snow. It's been incredibly warm today working outside. The fields look they have had nitrogen fertiliser spread over them. I guess God sends us free nitrogen in the rain. I like the ginger bread house.
ReplyDeleteOur storms are on the way out. Thank goodness. I don't like freezing
DeleteNice gingerbread house. Does anyone really break them up and eat them? Batten the hatches for your next buffering.
ReplyDeleteThat's what my daughter said. I'll leave the gingerbread house on the table for now and admire it
DeleteI love the gingerbread house! I have always wanted to make one, but going through all that trouble for the two of us seems silly. I've never eaten one, but if I had made one, I guarantee that Romeo would attempt it. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful New Year's!
They did a wonderful job
Delete. The girls are very patient and artistic
Hope the storm isn't too severe. I love the gingerbread house. Have never made one or had one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like quite a bit of fiddly work. I won't eat it
DeleteI hope you only get a little stormy weather. Glad the girls made it safe to Athens. Yes gingerbread blitzed would make an excellent cheesecake base. I also say a rocky road with gingerbread in it as well. I’m sure if you Google gingerbread leftovers recipes you will get quiet a few stay safe
ReplyDeleteOf course, Mr Google. That's usually the first thing I do. After January 6 I may break it up and put it in the freezer.
DeleteI am so chocolated out here, sometimes too much sweet stuff gets to be too much to the point where I feel sick. Looks like everyone had a great time anyway.
