I am sitting in front of the computer waiting to be given the go ahead to go down to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for the cake I will be baking for tomorrow.
In my list I’ve got: caster sugar, eggs, cocoa, self raising flour, cherries, kirsch, double cream and chocolate.
I will be making a Black Forest Gateau!
But yeah, that’s for tomorrow (Christmas day). Nothing special going on today. British people don’t celebrate Christmas Eve the same as the rest of Europe, so today is kind of special without being special.
We will be spending Christmas Day with part of Jon’s family. We will have the traditional turkey with all the trimmings, then the cake, and then we’ll play some games. I hope we have a great day because I am really missing the Christmases of my childhood when everybody was always in party mood and we all had a great time, singing Carols and playing with each other. It seems like the party spirit has been long gone (at least in the Spanish side of the family) and I wish I could bring it back.
I will report on the success (or lack of it) with the Cake soon 
Merry Christmas everybody!!
