He's home!

Well I collected Hubby from the airport yesterday after him being away for the grand total of six weeks! I can't tell you how nice it is having him back home, I'm hoping that he gets at least two weeks off before he has to return to the seas - we'll see. At least he'll get more than two days, which is what he got in his last job - don't laugh - that was all he got!
So tomorrow is the day of the meal - the goose should be arriving anytime soon - I've bought it from a local organic farmer so I'm expecting it to taste great, whilst enjoying my warm glow derived from using local businesses. Hugh would be very proud I'm sure! You can buy a whole 1/2 or 1/4 pig from these farmers all prepared into the various cuts. When we have a garage or pantry I fully intend to get a chest freezer and purchase a 1/2 pig. Just knowing I've got all that meat just waiting to be eaten will be a very good feeling I'm sure! I'll have to get a lock on it though - or not tell Dadz what's in there!
I'm off to begin cleaning and tidying ready for our distinguished guests tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it - I'm hoping it's a lovely evening. No doubt I'll tell you all about it afterwards. For now I'll continue to ponder whether I should buy Markies Meringues or make em?
