Burrrrrrr, it's getting cold over here! London has just turned into a beautiful snowdome. It is so pretty you can't even imagine. Having never seen proper snow before I was, and still am, totally amazed by it. Tomorrow is meant to be even snowier- can't wait!
Today i did my annual christmas shortbread bake. As usual mum was completely hopeless when I asked for a recipe and so I had to go by instinct. I have made this shortbread every year since I can remember so Ihve a fair idea of what I am doing, only problem is that I am so used to making it in the heat of summer and right now I am in the depths of freezing cold, snowing outside winter. This meant that my butter was a lot harder than I am used to and things looked different (ie the first batch wasn't quite right). Anyway, I got there eventually and now have a beautiful bunch of christmas crackers filled with home made shortbread- australian style!
MMMM Macadamia
This is the gorgeous christmas tree that we put up during the week. I despise tinsel so instead Rosanne, LC and I spent hours folding paper cranes out of red paper. It ended up looking absolutely stunning!
Please note mum: all the presents you sent me are intact- still wrapped and waiting for christmas day.
Tonight LC and I went up to Stratford picturehouse to se Where The Wild Things Are. when we got back home there was a thin layer of snow over everything. It reminded me of the icing sugar at Mulots that Andre always called snow (and Jonno thought was coke).
all wrapped up for christmas
