The Nigel Slater Christmas Chronicles Readalong 2025/6 Part 4

Hello all, and welcome to Part 4. We Continue our CC journey. We are almost at the end, as there are only four chapters of the book left, but there will be a year round thread for those who wish to continue.

For anyone who has not already had the pleasure, the annual Nigel Slater Christmas Chronicles read along is a real time annual MN tradition.
The Christmas Chronicles (Notes, stories and 100 essential recipes for midwinter) book began on 1st November.

We continue to read along and comment with the book which is set out in diary form. I will make a post each day (or let you know if there is no entry on a particular day)

For anyone new, (and it's never too late to join in) it's a challenge to see of you can pick up the book as a bargain. Vinted has come up trumps in the past, as has ebay. A rare and precious charity shop find is always a bonus. Don't forget, you can also listen along to Nigel's dulcet tones via Audible.

So, welcome to old friends and new, and don't forget that reading by candle light is particularly enjoyable. Cire Trudon may be one of Nige's candles of choice, but it's somewhat pricey. We don't discriminate against other less expensive brands - even if they are NVN (Not Very Nigel)

Pull up a chair, light a candle, grab a cosy blanket and join in!

Just caught up with today's Piano Room with James - really enjoyed it (they open with one of my favourite songs 🥰).

Loved their rendition of Perfect Day, too.

Macy Gray tomorrow. Hopefully that will be interesting.

I love karaoke so much, used to go all the time pre kids and now do it WITH them at home. Top songs for me: Brand New Key by Melanie (I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates), My Sharona or Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon. Always a good time!!

Ahhh My Sharona is a great one. It's also just brought to mind Rock the Casbah and I may now have to play both. I used to do karaoke all the time back in the days when I actually went out. I also had a PlayStation in my 30s so would sing every weekend along to whatever choices Singstar offered. My poor neighbours! I do wonder if my ex husband still does The Proclaimers 500 miles in a 'mock' Scots accent. I hope not, but reckon so! <cringe>
