It's befuddling to think that a few inches of snow can throw an entire country into traveling chaos. I mean, it IS winter and snow CAN occur in the winter season. When will the whole of England figure out this unsurprising principle of cold weather and PREPARE?? I guess I'm lucky I don't need to contend with the masses trying to get in/out of London and mainland Europe as we aren't headed back to the States for the holidays. This will be our first Christmas away from family so we thought we'd embrace the traditional British Christmas dinner. We comforted ourselves with food- lots and lots of food. And Christmas crackers filled with Christmas crowns (which we donned for the meal.) But alas, no flaming Christmas pudding! Just yummy sticky toffee pudding.
The dinner was an alright substitute, but it can never come close to cheesy potatoes, shrimp cocktails or spending special time with our parents, sisters, brothers-in-law and niece (and soon to be, nephew!)

I don't see the mashed potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI know! No mashed! We'll have to make our own ;)
