Twelfth night feast by happypat

Twelfth night feast

A very elaborate meal for twelfth night. I think by the time you had eaten so much over Christmas & tackled taking the decorations down, all those dropped pine needles, the last thing I would feel like doing would be cooking a large meal like this!

Three good things:
1. New pillows & coloured bedding on the bed ready for family staying.
2. Lunch at a friends house today for nine of us.
3. Lots of Christmas trees going up! Ours up tomorrow!
Boo
ooh we are putting our tree up tomorrow too!

Ooh ,how the gentry of the past used to feast ! So elaborate ! Think our tree will go up tomorrow too ! if I feel like doing it in the morning !

Such a feast. Everything looks so colourful. I think our ‘tree’ will go up nearer Christmas. I may use a tall flax flower again or something small and simple.

But if you had servants to do it all then you could probably enjoy

Normally I would wait another week but we want to be all dressed up for when family arrive on Wednesday! Just hope the tree keeps it’s needles on!

Lovely decorations above the table.

Wow - just look at the panels in this room! In those days, you had lots of staff to cook and tidy up! Upstairs and downstairs stuff! Love the chandelier! Now I really must also buy new pillows. My spare room ones have been there for centuries!

Like your 3GTs. Enjoy!

So festive. I couldn’t eat that feast either

That is quite the feast

@maggiemae When family come to visit that’s the time I buy new pillows, very fussy about them as I do b&b so they do get changed regularly. Not too keen on the new ones this time though! Soft but hard to get pillow cases on!

Oh my, how elegant and beautiful!

It all looks very elegant. We have got out tree down from the loft but I haven't had chance to decorate it yet. That is tonights job

Oh I would love to have this as my Christmas dinner table! But I would need a house big enough.....!!
