We took a stroll around Cannock Chase today in search of a pretty winter wonderland; we were not disappointed. There was about 2.5 cm of snow, lots of ice crystals on the vegetation and some pretty robins, tits and wagtails.

When we arrived home, Richard insisted that he wanted a proper New Zealand Christmas meal, so he donned his shorts, thermal tights and Hawaiian shirt (or closest to it anyway) and set about barbecuing sausages, salmon, courgette, mushrooms and peppers. And, delicious they were too!

What's cooking?
Thankfully he allowed us to eat indoors.
We retreated indoors to consume.
Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas!

All that was missing was the beach!
Brilliant frosty scenes in Brum.
Ha, and a BBQ at this time of year – amazing … and crazy!
Well done – bbq in the freezing cold.
And even bigger well done for the crazy shorts and Hawaiian New Zealand shirt!!
My fingers froze on the garden shed lock today brrrr!
Not a good day to be out in the garden.
But Kiwis wouldn’t eat it in the kitchen, where was the fine wine and the candelabra?
We had fine wine whilst preparing the BBQ; I think it was from New Zealand too! We finished the bottle before reaching the main course though, so had to opt for squash!
You’ve seen the candelabra, I’m sure you know why we didn’t use it!
