Thanksgiving, Viles-style...

Thanksgiving is a major holiday in the USA, to be shared with family and friends and involving a turkey.  As I am without any of those at the moment, I had to improvise.  I managed to phone my Mum and Dad on their home phone in England via Skype and had a lovely chat for 10 minutes for 18p.  How does Skype do it?!  Or are my parents really just round the corner having a sneaky holiday in Hollywood without telling me.  It wouldn't surprise me...

I've just enjoyed a home-cooked 'turkey and all the trimmings' meal, but without the turkey and jolly nice it was too.  Roasted vegetables, including a selection of 'heritage potatoes' and a few things that had been lurking in the fridge for a long time.  Lovely.  Fresh Californian strawberries to finish.  And then the moonlight swim in the pool and hot tub.  Not bad for the end of November!
