Both our presents before opening:
And afterwards (mine only):
Two neck warmers and silk glove liners. An ipad rest, a 12' x 12' paper storage box plus multi-coloured card to go in it. An old style Marmite jigsaw, two mini bars of Ritter chocolate, a box of chocolates, a doodle book, a Baileys glass with a few chocolates and a mini bottle of Baileys. Two books, a polythene recycled shopping bag, a new doggy mug and a grow your own fly catcher planter. How great and thoughtful are all of those?
Particularly loved this label from DS, above.
Ruby received a new leather collar made by a lovely lady who has just started her own business. Like children, she enjoyed ripping apart paper the most!
Lunch pictures:
Mine on the left, his on the right. I didn't need gravy but used some leftover leek and potato soup for DB as we find gammon gravy too salty. We used about 1/3rd of the gammon so plenty left over. We didn't need our pudding so shall have that for tea.
What a lovely hoard of presents.
ReplyDeleteAll wanted and well thought out. DB also got a jigsaw which we started last evening.
DeleteIt sounds like a truly lovely day - I'm glad.

It was quiet but an hour long video chat with DS and DDiL and smiles from DGD made it very special.
DeleteLots of lovely presents.
ReplyDeleteWe kept it really simple, I bought Alan the nice sturdy suit carrier he has needed for a while for travelling and he bought me a years supply of my favourite body cream. Just what we wanted and we both appreciated the gifts.
Sophie, our Border Collie used to love ripping off wrapping paper and playing with it later and went into raptures over bubble wrap, these two have no interest whatsoever ... a proper pair of Christmas miseries they are ;-)
She just held her wrapped present in her mouth. We threw her some of our wrapping paper and off she went. Once ripped, she loses interest.
