New Year's Eve saw us ringing in the new year with a lovely buffet style dinner of mini cheese quiche, greek salad, a selection of cheese with biscuits and crackers, slices of French baguette with apple lime elderflower vinegar for dipping, pickled asparagus, sliced white wine salami, an assortment of dried fruit and crystallized ginger for digestion. Champagne (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) soon followed.
New Year's Day we had a bit of a later start therefore 3 cheese & chive scones were in order for a light however filling brunch. Kept us going on our New Year's day walk.
New Year's Day dinner was oven roasted ham with Fortnum's Cranberry & Apricot chutney, steamed asparagus, steamed brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes with fresh chives. A lovely red wine was on hand and Fortnum and Mason's wonderful FitzGeorge Fruit Cake was for dessert.
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year like we did. Plenty to be thankful for and plenty to celebrate with friends and family. Looking forward to what 2016 may bring our way and all the best to you and yours in the coming year. - JD
