After weeks of work, he surprised his papa with this waterwheel made from popsicle sticks and glue.
And then he surprised me with a most splendid Merry Christmas Ship.
Christmas breakfast.
It’s been a battle.
Happy New Year!
This same time, years previous: 2017, Christmas, quite frankly, constant motion, cranberry crumble bars, loose ends.

Chocolate pavlova: Make a normal pavlova shell, don't add cocoa, but def' worth adding the vinegar/cornstarch to make it chewy. Then melt 250gm of dark chocolate 70% or higher, before mixing with an equal amount of creme fraiche or sour cream. Leave to cool and thicken a little. Spread in the recessed middle of the pavlova, and put in fridge to chill and set fully. Finish by piping whipped cream – or just spoon in arty dollops around the edge. Rich yes, sweet no. Ooo and if making for grown ups you can add a little orange liquer in the chocolate bit.

I might have to rethink my verdict—your directions are mighty tempting….
