Around it come. Just after midnight Xmas day snukk in, not that I seen it arrive.
Was looking forward to a sleep in but seeing as there was a limited amount of preparation to do and I had to supervise 8.53am was feet on the floor.
Everything went to a plan and nearer to 1pm was Tukker Time.....
Early prep, saw......
Ready to cook......
Egg wash applied to one as we decided 1 divided by 2 was still large enough.....
Out of the oven...
Colour and texture looking good.....
After resting for 5 -7 ..........
The inner looked good enough to eat....... Maybe 3 mins, less in the gas but is hard to judge heat compared to electric.....
To go with the Beef.....
Yorkshire Pudding.......
And all dished up it and mine with a........
Splash of gravy.... The individual tastes were amazing and the Beef was so tender...
Leonies cooking was up there with any Yokohama Star Chef........
I'm full as a Bull but....
Can not not eat the pudding.... Sticky Date roll with Caramel sauce, Ice Cream, Meringue and whipped cream.......

Usually these paddocks.....
Are green pasture grazing livestock.... Haven't seen any Floaters.......
It's a nice day with No chance of snow and the......
Sun was Bouncing off the neighbouring Pub roadside sign.....
The explanation for the Pub name......
50 Metres away is the old Aynho rail station... Must have been owned by the GW railway EH....
The station house is now a home.... A lot of trains pass at speed all through the night.....
Some people can sleep through anything......
Along the road the strong winds.....
Enabled this tree to destroy the adjacent gate......
Able to withstand the storm was....
The rail bridge.......
Nearby stands......
A derelict building close to the rail way..... Nice detail above the windows.....
And across the road....
Undamaged and still laughing at the pathetic past storm this naked tree just stands tall passing time and waiting for some cover.....
