My Christmas - complete with tasty roast potatoes!

Hi Peeps,

Well, I hope your Christmas has been a good one! My Mum and Dad came down to stay with us from Liverpool, so it was especially good. We have all been spoilt rotten by Santa and have eaten and drunk far too much for our own good! Yay!

It’s set to continue into the New Year, but I have it covered with my Diet Chef order already made!

Our Christmas turkey was lovely - with a lot of help from Mum and Dad! I followed Delia’s recipe to the letter. Having been shamed by Malcolm Harradine and Simon Brown into abandoning my reliance on Aunt Bessie for my roast potatoes, I took their advice and used goose fat to make ultra tasty Maris Pipers. They seemed to take forever, but were worth the wait!

I will be back on screen with Jill Franks on New Year’s Day!

Have a great time!

Love Debbie x


 

My family Christmas night out

I can't believe it's almost Christmas! I went to the girls' Christmas carol concert last Thursday, which was lovely, and last night we went on our family night out.

It's always an adventure for us going into the West End of London. For years we would queue up in Harrods for three hours to see the real Santa (it was DEFINITELY the real one), and then to Hamleys for the girls to buy each other their Christmas presents.

Afterwards, we’d go to Trafalgar Square to see "the biggest Christmas tree in the world." Now that the grls are 11 and 14, we're a little bit more "sophisticated".
