Family arrived last night and at least one GC is up and about. They will be visiting other family this morning so meal will be about 2-3ish.

2 o'clock is planned for. DD only lives 20 minutes away so they will come sometime in the morning to help. If we are lucky, and it is supposed to be a sunny day, DH and I might walk down to the sea before they come.
Everything is ready though. Table done, , timing list on kitchen table, all veg prepared. DH said he will make breakfast. I am looking forward to a lovely day. Hope you all are too

Around 6.30 pm, allowing for church in the morning, short walk if fine and DH is up to it, and something to watch in the evening. Presents after church, though no surprises expected.

Whenever we feel like it! Probably around 4pm??

It's only Mr P and I so we just wing it. Scrambled egg and smoked salmon for brunch, then turkey with all the usual bits whenever it happens.

No set time, so no pressure.

1pm the in-laws arrive. 2pm the meal is served. 4pm the toast to absent friends.

I have put the pork joint in the slow cooker and I'm now banned from any further cooking or preparation, but I'm taking bets that I'll be allowed in the kitchen to make the gravy. tchgrin

Expect to sit down to the meal around 1.00pm. The turkey is timed to be out of the oven and resting just after 12.00.

My son told me today that lunch will be about 2.30 at his house, which is where we are going tomorrow. We will go before that though as we want to exchange gifts first.

We are going to the pub/hotel my son and his partner run.
We are booked for 12:30 but will probably go a bit earlier as we have presents to deliver.
