We celebrated Christmas in July with our English friends Jennie and Geoff last night. Jennie and Geoff miss the cold white Christmases of their English past, so they host an annual dinner when a wood-fire can burn in the hearth, beneath their snowy Christmas decorations, and when hearty Christmas roasts and puddings don't have to be eaten in 40 degree days. Melbourne came to the party with an chilly 15 degree day, grey and rainy.
The highlight of the meal?
Jennie's Yorkshire pudding is delicious! And it's always fun pulling crackers (or as Aussies call them, bon-bons), wearing silly hats and reading even more silly jokes. The wire egg-cup was in my Christmas cracker. A little touch of Africa ...
