Yuletide
Happy New Year!
This melon was with the New Year's Eve buffet at the Black Dog in Dalton. Can you read the message carved into it? (Look at the green surface)Here are a few images of Yultide at Maalie Court

Simon cannot manage without an Australian lager (the Runcible Fellow)
As Christmas morning was bright and sunny, we took a trip into the hills at the head of the Duddon Valley

The wintering thrushes had not discovered this holly tree!
Back in Maalie Court, a brace of pheasants is ready for the oven. Simon commented that the streaky bacon wrapping made them look like Union Jacks!A Happy New Year to you all and Happy Blogging in 2008!

I love the melon. That's really clever. Happy New Year to you too and have a great trip to Italy.
Italy? You only just got home from Ireland!!!!
Happy New Year, Maalie!
Did you notice the scenes from beautiful Old Danube during the New Year's concert? (And yes, I watched the concert live of TV, like everybody else, eating a non-traditional Vietnamese beef soup *grin*).
Yummy food! It took me a while to read the words in the melon being colour blind for red and green but I got there in the end!
Happy 2008 to you!!!!
You certainly look after your guests very well. Simon and Susie have been very well fed. I love the melon too, I have only scooped out pumpkins this way before, but this is a great idea.
Happy New Year wishes to you, and to Simon too.
Well mate y6ou have covered my 2nd installment! Note how the bacon looks like the Union Jack draped over the pheasant?? I gotta confess they were delicious!
Happy New Year Maalie. Just got back from the wondering about during the last week.
Love Lorenzo.
Those pheasants look wonderful. You are certainly a wonderful cook for a runcible fellow.
Blwyddyn newydd Dda, Maalie. Will 2008 finally see you tidy up / jazz up your blog sidebar - which has been essentially untouched since 2005...?
Happy New Year!
Love from Jack, Miki and Allan
