Merry Christmas everyone.

We don't do traditional Christmas fayre preferring to cook something from different countries around the world  each year. This year it's tagine.

In our case the stroll along the beach, or more likely the sea front and sea wall, will be before lunch. Unfortunately, of course, there will be no trains to watch as we stroll.

Worked Christmas for about half of my working life..
Not any more....
I'm retired..

Our concession to Christmas day is no house work.
The turkey and everything else for the meal is cooked sliced and waiting in the freezer..


That will be walked off by a stroll on the beach with the dog..

Merry Christmas to you all..

And yes, the size of packaging is a big bugbear of mine. Not sure what can be done about it though.

I have to say, my view on packaging is changing. Far too many parcels arrive these days damaged as they are in flimsy plastic bags or no packaging at all. There needs to be a middle ground where external packaging and the product is protected. Apple (and others) have shown that with some thought, fully recyclable packaging can be produced.

Kind regards

Hi

Indeed it does as you get quantity discounts (I work for a packaging manufacturer).

Ashley Giles


Let's see how the batting goes in the early hours once the two final wickets have fallen
