Pudding

27 December 2015

I just now had my Christmas Pudding. It was delicious, laced with brandy and, I think, rum, and covered with single cream - and ‘twas an individual-sized portion.

Why individual?

My wife doesn’t like it and my daughters (8 & 6) don’t have alcohol for obvious reasons (and don’t like rich fruit cakes anyway.)

Ruby puppy* sat and waited for a while, ever hopeful, but my resolve never weakened.

*She’s a lady now, our Ruby; perhaps I should start being consistent and calling her a dog.
