Say 20 #adventcalendar Apple, onion, and sage cheddar oh my. This is one of my favourite ones. Only a few days of cheese left.

An ok Christmas movie I guess. Not overly impressed and there was a lot of padding. The Grinch was a bad guy who was mean to his dog, not a misunderstood orphan. Not sure that we needed more then the redemption story we were given in the original

Was able to get through it this year without the aid of a bottle of wine and ended up in a ball on the floor. So they is a big win.
I know it is problematic but it has Huge Grant and Rick Grimes in it.

I can honestly say I have never read an Irish 🇮🇪 detective novel before. I have read some Irish novels and read detective stories from Canada, the UK and USA. Lots of twists and turns and just enough moral ambiguity. Very enjoyable

I happen to believe that almost all Christmas romances are we awful. However this one is really bad. Meeting were nothing is discussed. A kiss, in an elect for no reason, that leads to a woman immediately breaking off an engagement. A production of the Nutcracker that we never see. Bad movie

Day 12 #adventcalender Caramelised (or how I want to spell it ‘caramelized’ with a zed. Being 🇨🇦 can cause some confusion in spelling. Anyway the caramelised cheddar was excellent with my Christmas mug of coffee.

Say 10 cheese #adventcalender a vintage applewood smoked cheddar. Doesn’t sound a whole lot different than yesterday’s except adding the word vintage. I guess we will see

Day nine of #adventcalender and the cheese is applewood smoked cheddar. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Maybe the cheeses get more intense as we go? This is the 6th year I’ve purchased an Ilchester calendar imported from the UK 🇬🇧 and never been disappointed. It is now a tradition.

2nd Christmas war movie of the season. A bit schmaltzy at times and the acting was uneven. The framing device, of old man starts to tell story to young man who just arrived from America, was totally not needed. As a feel good made for TV Christmas war movie it was good. Worth a watch

I only watch Christmas movies this time of year. Last year I watched a bunch of Christmas romances (they’re awful). This year I’m I mixing it up with Christmas war movies.
This one is definitely an anti war. Should be more well known. Great cast. A bit weird at times. Well worth seeing.

Day 6 of cheese #adventcalendar. Today, Red Leicester. A slightly sweet cheese with a slightly sharp edge. Great with coffee from a Christmas mug.

The first of the bad Christmas movies I’m set to watch the season. The plot made no sense. There were double crosses on top of double crosses that actually made for huge plot holes. There was a voice over, and I generally don’t like those. And Affleck was, well Affleck.
