debithaSo uhhhh, this year I will spend Christmas in Canada.
This is not quite as random as it sounds. Having spent 6 months wandering the deepest darkest boonies of South America my brother and his girlfriend have fetched up in Vancouver, where we have a cousin. We also have other family around Canada. I vaguely mentioned visiting him for Christmas as a possibility. Then I vaguely mentioned it to Mum in passing on the phone. She said, "Oh, what a good idea!" Then it was all off because Dad freaked out. (He is not a fan of sudden changes of plan.) Last night I got an email from Mum saying it's all on. So, yeah. Head = spinning.
Flights to Canada at Christmas? Not cheap. Still, I am all booked up, holiday is agreed with Boss and I am flying out on 18 December and getting back on 6 January. Exciting!
Now I have to make sure I have clothes suitable for extreme cold, because there is a reasonable likelihood of ending up in the middle of Canada instead of on the coast (family members are in Winnipeg and Ontario).
Also, crumble topping was definitely under-buttered and therefore dry and (funnily enough) floury. Solution? Serve with cream. Sorted.
