Christmas Pud

Today I helped Bella make the Christmas pudding, we had lots of fun! weighing and stirring and then putting all the mixture into the bowl so that it could be steamed for 6 hours!! lots of fun sniffing the spices that made our nose tickle.
Earlier we had walked down to he harbour with the Wonder Dog it was freezing cold with a strong wind blowing. The boats in the harbour were bopping all over the place.
Then Layla and Bella popped into Asda to get a few messages, before we set off back to theirs and lunch. Lovely creamy courgette soup for Layla and moi, minestrone for Bella.
It is so much fun baking with Bella, when the pudding mixture was finished I said we would have to stir it and make a wish. She asked me how you did that, I did my best to explain, anyway she stirred and said she had made a wish! Then I did it, then Layla who closed her eyes whilst wishing, on seeing her mummy do this Bella said she had better have another wish, you guessed this time done with eyes closed-well fluttering:)
After this we read some books, Graham arrived about 1715 h stayed for a wee while then home.
Butternut squash risotto with salad for dinner--lovely.
Evening blogging, blipping and knitting. Goodnight
