This just in - Bedford Christmas pretty nice thanks

Merry Christmas! It's boxing day and as such we're eating leftovers and playing with our new toys :) Joe is playing his new game Red Alert 3 and having fun. I am eating candy and playing games on the computer. I've already stuck all my new Harry Potter stickers into my new Harry Potter sticker book :D and read The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Plan to next cook a nice meal with my new crock pot and recipe book. And maybe write some notes in my new notebook, while wearing my new thermals (sent by both Joe's parents and mine, great minds think alike!) and my new pink NZ tshirt (thanks Amanda :D) I like Christmas! Not that it's all about presents mind.

I cooked up a lovely feed yesterday, actually 3 of them - we got up to phone calls from Gail and Richard, and Alison and Kevin, around 8:30, then I cooked us delicious french toast (using eggnog instead of egg mix, yum!) with bacon and banana. After that was cleaned up, I cooked a yum roast pork with veges and sauces etc, yum yum :D

And then we indulged in baked vanilla and blackberry cheesecake. Oh so tasty. This is what Christmas is for, crazy delicious feasts and silly crackers and things :) Oh and being with loved ones and sharing the Christmas Spirit of course!

Joe and I are heading off for our Spanish New Year's on Sunday, equipped with a iPhrase ebook on my iPod - how great is technology these days? Very. Hmm what else have we been up to... Went to London on Christmas Eve and visited Harrods, checked out their toy department and christmas section which was pretty cool. Then headed to an Irish Pub and had bangers and mash sitting at a window overlooking Chinatown.


We were with a neat Aussie couple I met through Improv, Maddy and Jaime - very lovely and fun :) Now we have a couch to sleep on in Melbourne should we visit! They're heading home on New Years.

Anyways. We're getting our final travel plans sorted out, trying to book flights and trains around Europe, mainly Italy and France. Fingers crossed we don't come home with too much debt... Will write something up about Barcelona when we get back :) Love and cuddles!
