My new scalf - I think I took this photo to remember the washing instructions.

Erika and I at the Pineapple.

We were joined by our neighbours from a few doors down and slightly oddly at the kids’ request we sat upstairs, and had the whole room to ourselves, which seemed to be slightly defeating the object to me!

Back at home later on, some Christmas Day sabrage - and trying another of the 2018 vintages from Breaky Bottom.

The first ever Blanc de Noirs from Breaky Bottom - this was excellent!

Not sure why I took this - maybe by accident?

15:43:40
Slightly swashbuckly sort of air to this I thought.

Later on Christmas dinner, which unlike everyone else we eat at a sensible normal dinner sort of time. Rest asured Erika is not drinking Breaky Bottom here - it’s “kodomo no biru” which is in fact sparkling apple juice.
