Happy New Year

I had a wonderful New Year, and promised I would post some pictures today. I hope you all had an excellent time too. John and Trish had 16 guests for a true feast - sitting us all was their first triumph.


The meal started with Goran's Swedish fish soup - apparently he had a bit of a search to find saffron in Tesco's...


In between each course we sang a little Swedish snaps song...



most of us had no idea what we were singing which I think was probably a good thing! Skol!!
Next came a chicken curry provided by Viv and then Rustan's Swedish meatballs, brown sauce and cranberries (Linden berries left in fridge in Sweden) delicious...




most of us were too full up by now to try Trish's Caribbean sweet potatoes, so time to clear the tables



(That's Mr T in the specs)
But we had to find room for dessert...

After the meal and greeting the new year, it was necessary to stand up for a while!!




A big thanks to John and Trish and for any in the gang there are more photos on flickr, click on the link on the side bar.




Here's to 2010
