But most of all I love you ‘cause you’re you

I stood this morning and watched while beloved made the biggest steak pie in the history of the world,and I was transported back to Christmas 1988.

On that morning I sat on the galley counter of a type 42 destroyer and watched as he prepped up and cooked off breakfast and then Christmas dinner for the skeleton crew on board.

I was in my element.

The beer was flowing, the roast potatoes were to die for and the company was sublime. And to me, there is nothing quite as pleasurable as watching beloved create, be it food, mechanical, or scouty type things.

After Christmas lunch was served we headed home, and he created a gorgeous vegetarian feast for us which we noshed in about and then lay around in a stupor for the rest of the day.

Which is pretty much what we did today.

Love You xx
