But they were fun. I missed the unveiling of the one that opened the day I was there, which is a shame... Judging by Kensington Palace's general way of doing things, there may well have been some pomp and exhibition to go along with it! And well done with your pork pie - I made Yorkshire puddings for the first time ever, but they all got gobbled up on the day!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-62669423722421230062013-01-01T08:22:39.373+00:002013-01-01T08:22:39.373+00:00What a lovely, honest post.

I'm really curious about Kensington Palace's Advent Calendar. I made Pork Pie with Hot Water Crust as part of our Christmas fare. :) It worked! I was surprised to find that I thought it perhaps tasted better on Boxing Day.Susan Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096174755215969268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-84891810661556011612012-12-28T17:38:50.521+00:002012-12-28T17:38:50.521+00:00I was very tempted by all their sweets and was con...I was very tempted by all their sweets and was considering ducking in to buy some... but unfortunately (or perhaps luckily?) they were closed when I passed by!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-46942592963911716192012-12-27T21:00:03.588+00:002012-12-27T21:00:03.588+00:00Mmmmh!

I'm staying put too (looking forward to a stroll around Crystal Palace tomorrow) but I have done none of my food shopping and am really dreading it!!
