So, the turkey's now bought, along with sprouts, potatoes, carrots and parsnips and snacks.
This morning was time for me to set off and find somewhere to walk. I ended up parking at Grasmere. I nearly didn't go walking as it started raining as I was getting my rucksack ready. But, with waterproofs on I finally set off. I followed the path towards Easedale Tarn and then took the path towards Far Easedale.
There was a lot of water around, and I had to paddle quite a few times!
The path started climbing and the wind got stronger and I nearly gave up. But with a brief stop for some hot chocolate and a sandwich I eventually made it up to Brownrigg Moss.
The view was fantastic, but it was so cold and windy get I didn't stay there long!
Time to head back down, back through the puddles, crossing the streams using the stepping stones.......
......and back down to Grasmere and the van, for a well earned hot chocolate and piece of homemade stollen.
And now the chestnuts are cooked and ready to be shelled so that I can make the stuffing tomorrow.
Have a fabulous Christmas Day, wherever you are.
