Happy Monday lovely people! 
What a weekend we have just had. Sadly not because of any grand adventures….quite the opposite really. For finally my immune system decided that ‘enough is enough’ and yielded to the cold / flu bug that has been lurking around our house for the last month or so. So, while I was well enough to prepare our special Xmas in July dinner on Saturday night, sadly I was not all that enthused when it came to actually eating said dinner. 
But here is a glimpse into the night’s dishes nonetheless. 
On the menu… 
Ham shoulder, glazed with marmalade, whiskey and dijon mustard. 
Turkey stuffed with apple and cranberry (unpictured?!) On the side – duck fat roast potatoes, cranberry and pistachio “stuffing” and a pumpkin, red onion and feta salad. 
All together now! 
But it was dessert that had me most excited… 
Sticky date pudding, served with butterscotch sauce, double cream and almond biscotti. 
I only wish my tastebuds has been co-operating! Details of the dishes to follow… What about you? Did you celebrate Christmas in July this year?
