Just a short luggage-laden train journey to Ray and Phil's house for Christmas this year. Five days of long walks, long talks and exceedingly good food awaited us.
On Christmas eve we stock up on Christmas essentials at Faversham's farmers markets before heading home for a fresh Crab feast. Newspaper covers the table, candles are lit and champagne is supped, as we learn messily how to eat fresh crab. We drink wine (just a wee bit for me) and sit talking at the table for hours. Christmas records play in the background and the scent of the clove studded oranges wafts around the room. We go to bed with very happy tummy's.
Ray's Christmas decorations are amazing, aren't they?
