Keeping Cheerful

[poliphilo]

We've been having a run of damp grey weather.  Monday I put up the Christmas tree.  Yesterday I opened a bottle of Vina Esmeralda- which we buy because it reminds us of Catalonia- and broke out the Christmas pudding.  I keep reminding myself that it's less than three weeks now until the Solstice.


Tossa de Mar, Catalonia (2005)

I have fond memories of Tossa de Mar from the 1970s. Thinking of that, perhaps it's time to watch Ava Gardner and James Mason in "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman" again.

There's a statue of Ava Gardner on the hill above Tossa now. It doesn't look the least bit like her.

Nothing ever looked like Ava Gardner, NOTHING.

You have a point there...

Ah yes, the unfortunately named Tossa. :o)

I've got to try making an English pudding one year.

You've got to smile...

You must.

Christmas pudding is the best.

I've done fruitcakes and mincemeat, but never a proper English pudding. Maybe I can remember to start one next fall.
