To everyone that hasn't realised. It's Christmas day tomorrow that's 25th December, same day as last year.
Supermarkets will be shut tomorrow, but open again a few hours later.
You don't need to buy a month's supply of food that's going to go off in a week

Those 12 in 1 usb chargers always warm the heart of a loved one. Failing that, the Thinsulate hat and gloves combo.

A sack of potatoes this year then? Make a change from a litre of oil and a set of wiper blades

Managed to get the card for W! A nice one too!
The tin mine was closed. Website said it was open, the sign on the gate said "No". Not until Jan 2, but as a footpath runs through it all we couldn't do was go underground or into the gift shop,or buy a ticket!!!! Result!!!
Drove to another one and took yet more pix. National Truss one this one. Still shut!!!
I had suggested to W that she ring up, but no signal unless you walk outside and about 15yards to a spot in the garden where there may be one. So that didn't happen!!!
Anyway no prob we still enjoyed the views and the bracing air.
Found a pub in a nearby village. Ordered drinks then I asked if I could have a pasty? To get a very old-fashioned look and "Just because we are in Cornwall doesn't mean we have pasties!"
Oops!
So crisps it was!
TBH being Sunday it was the Sunday lunch menu or flip all!
On to a place with a beacon we could walk the dogs to.
Weather cold, very windy and a bit drizzly.
Bangers and mash later on, don't forget Santa 's booze and mince pies,oh and the carrot!!
Have a lovely evening peeps!!!

Just crowned out 3 brace of pheasant, horrible job. Still I have about 5kg of meat and the cats were happy with the trimmings.

Well in the UK I've only had an expensive one once, at the reopening of the posh hotel I used to work in, and obviously it was specially hand knitted!!!

I am just wondering about an appropriate present for the third orifice. One of those three coloured space rocket ice lollies maybe??
