Christmas Pudding.

Spent most of today with Layla and Bella, as Bella was full of a cough and cold and couldn't go and mix with other bairns at a friends house. Picked up some toothpaste for the wee one at the supermarket where children from the local primary school were singing Christmas carols. They all had their red hats on and it sounded lovely. Over at Leith played with Bella, and had a chat with Layla before going with the girls and Ruaridh to the cycle path and the park for a walk. Layla managed to get some holly and branches off a fir tree to make a Christmas decoration, very pretty it is to. Ruaridh had a good run and Bella had a swing and sold me fish and chips on the park! Back at the house had lunch then Bella had a sleep, when she woke up we made the Christmas pudding, she was a great help and held the grater whilst I grated the apple and carrot. Also helped to put the rum in! the three of us took a turn to stir and wish, then into a basin covered with greaseproof and muslin and into the steamer for 4hours yummy.
Layla made a lovely lasagne for dinner, waited for Joe and Graham to arrive from the party they had attended,(work) once they had eaten we hit the road for home. Took Ruaridh to the park met wee Baxter, then home. having a glass of port then bed. Goodnight.
