Steve and I had a wonderful couple of days in Newcastle between Xmas Eve and home again on Boxing Day. It was lovely to spend time with family and friends and it was the first Xmas we had in Newcastle since moving up here, so it was high time we had a very Newcastle Xmas. Then, our friends, Glen, John and Julie and Lou arrived towards the end of yesterday for a very laid back but enjoyable dinner. Although desserts are always an important feature at our dinners, we didn't actually commence with dessert as this post might suggest but anyway here they are: Steve's famous ice cream slice and sherry log and a locally made Xmas pudding.
I marinated some green banana prawns in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, orange juice and garlic and ginger and bbq'd them... very tasty
a fabulous salad that Julie created
and here we are at the table: Glen, John, Steve, Julie and Lou
and me substituting for Glen in this pic.

Oh no! I wondered (too late) if you were down for Christmas. I was up, but now sadly back at work. Glad you had a wonderful celebration.
shame we missed each other, L...hopefully we can catch up sometime this year...maybe you will be able to get up for my 50th in September?
