Christmas Lunch in Threlkeld

Well, the weather relented last week, just in time for our Christmas lunch at The Horse and Farrier. Fourteen of us made it, and enjoyed a lovely meal. For most of us , it was our first visit to this lovely old Inn, and judging by the comments afterwards, it will not be the last!  We were treated to a wonderful meal, with plenty of choice, and very generous portions! Pat's warning to 'arrive hungry' was proved to be quite right.

We were a very lively group, and after the crackers, and three courses,we opened gifts. As is our tradition, these were all either made by the giver, or had some connection with embroidery and, as always, showed great ingenuity on the part of our members. Lovely presents, all appreciated by the recipients.

Not many pictures, I'm sorry to say, for a variety of reasons, but a few shots of some of the gifts.















Then came the mince pies, mulled wine , coffee and chocolates, before we all set off for home. A lovely occasion! Happy Christmas,everybody!
