All the Best in 2019!!

Thanks Wolnic, and festive greeting to you all. I hope you're having a wonderful time with family and loved ones (and maybe playing the odd game too).

Morrisions has just ruined Christmas for me, they don't have any sprouts!  No sprouts!  Don't they know it's Christmas!  I'm heart broken.

Thank you Wolnic and a very happy Christmas to you and yours

They'll probably have gone a bit soggy by the time they get here  :'(

TBH, Sprouts are best as original. Bacon on the side  :(y)

Sorry to hear there were no sprouts, Tom, in Morrisons. Did you manage to find them elsewhere?

In a forgotten corner of the veg aisle, I found a luxury tub of spouts and chestnuts with thyme butter.  The chestnuts are easy enough to remove (from my wife's portion) and thankfully the thyme butter unmelted. I will have to try butter before committing to it.  Christmas was saved, but only by a whisker.

Dronedrone, what a wonderful image. It must have taken you some time! A merit from me!
I'm going to merge this with a similar post so others can see it. It may be merged, but no less important!
Merry Crimbo!

Merry Christmas everyone! It feels a bit late now, but I hope everyone is having a wonderful time with their families...

We set a new personal record in our house of almost 5 minutes between the kids unwrapping the last of their Christmas presents  and asking to go on the Playstation! :o

Good luck with the sprouts Tom. Please update us all here as to whether or not they're acceptable.

Thanks for your kind words - as for the time taken - I listened to most of Despicable Me 2 and The Lego Movie on Christmas Eve afternoon whilst doing it.   I set myself the challenge of only using tiles from the first Base set, hence the 'relaxed' interpretation of the individual letters.  It is fascinating how the brain makes sense of the approximate shapes in context.    I was just glad that I didn't attempt the German equivalent (Fröliche Weihnachten!) - maybe next year...

I have redone the message and re-shot each setup in natural light as I found the 'flare' on the original picture irritating.

I have five days to think about the next one...
