Christmas Lunch with the British Contact Group in Delhi NCR

The British Contact Group in Delhi and Gurgaon had invited to a British Christmas lunch with roast chicken, roast potatoes, gravy, carrots, broccoli and beans. Yummm! Of course, we could not pass such a great opportunity to eat non-Indian food :-)

The Union Jack Club at the British High Commission in Delhi was festively decorated, there was even a bouncy castle for the children (some of these pictures courtesy of Gemma Kelly).

We all got a glass of something bubbly ... 

...and a goodie bag upon arrival.

Candy canes and toothbrushes (!!) for the children and a personalised mug and a deck of cards for the adults ... hmmm, to be honest that did lower my expectations a bit, but I need not have worried.

A little mingling to start with, but we soon had to move in the shade ... a first for me at a Christmas party ;-)

FOOOOOOOOD! I know it is not the best quality picture, but can you spot the meeting point sign? Very appropriate :-)

For dessert Christmas pudding and ... yes ... mince pies! Custard? Well, of course.
Actually, one of the goodie bags did contain something the other ones did not ...

To keep the drink and ourselves a little less warm we had to move in the shade, but, alas, too late! As you can see we all had sunstroke.
Was it a good party then?
