     Celi, thank you! Next year, maybe there needs to be a mini Tardis on the Christmas tree with the Enterprise? ;-)

     L & L, all three Christmas specials were brilliant this year! It was nice of the ABC to replay the ones from the last two years for us.. :)

   Merry Christmas! I found your blog a little while ago and love it. Had to comment today though – we are huge Dr Who fans – the highlight of Boxing Day! And we highly approve of dressing up the Doctor. Love it!

     Claire, thanks for popping in! I think last night’s Chrissie special might have been the best yet, although they’re always very good!

   I’m a big fan of the Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory. I love Rose, Mickey, Martha, and Donna… and Donna’s Dad. He’s awesome. On my ringtone for the boy it says, “Stormaggedon”

   I’m not so hot on River Song but that’s okay. I’m sure she’s going to regenerate into someone better. :-)

   Happy Boxing Day!

     Oooh Maz, River’s not going to regenerate any more. I LOVE her, she’s so tough! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! :)

   And Bow ties are cool. :-)

   Oh… I so am out of the loop when it comes to Dr. Who… but I love bow ties and your bread, does that count?

     Smidge, absolutely! And thank you! :)

    I just lurve Doctor Who. I’m working my way through series 6 again. Looking forward to seeing the Christmas special that was shown in the UK last night.

      Wasn’t it great? :) I think Matt Smith is my favourite Doctor yet, but then again, I said that about DT when he was in the role..

    We’re Dr Who fans here too, although I’m not a big fan of the current regeneration. This year’s Christmas Special was very sweet!

    I’ve yet to plan what to do with my leftovers, but your wreath looks very tasty.

    
    
    • on December 27, 2011 at 5:39 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Suelle, the ABC are now replaying all of the new series from the start, so I’ll get a chance to catch up on all of them again…

    The wreath loaf looks fantastic Celia. Very festive! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas.

      Caroline, we loved it here in Sydney too! :)

    Without spoling it, it is a very watery special ;) Hope you enjoy it. lovely bread! Xx

    
    
    • on December 27, 2011 at 5:40 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      You didn’t spoil it, and it was wonderful! And thank you for the link to Teresa’s recipe, it worked really well as a savoury – a bit like a Christmas sausage roll.. :) xxx

    What great presents! We continued our tradition of finishing up our Christmas meal by eating dessert while watching the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Brilliant as always!

      Kate, wasn’t it grand? I’m going to get a cup of tea and watch it again this morning.. ;-)

    Not here, I’m afraid Celia. We never watch it.

    But I’m a big fan of delicious wreath-shaped breads! XXX

      Gill! Merry Christmas, my dear friend! Hope you’ve had a good one! xxx

    Argh, I can’t wait to see the Christmas special. I think there was something about a nice loaf of bread in this post, but now all I can concentrate on is Dr. Who!

    
    
    • on December 27, 2011 at 5:43 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Greg, you’re a man after my own heart, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Princess Bride… ;-) Hope you’ve had a chance to see the Christmas special, it was great!

    Big Dr. Who fan from the past- it is hard to find the episodes up to date, here.
    (or at least with our cable system)- the wreath is gorgeous!)

    
    
    • on December 27, 2011 at 5:43 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Heidi, did you end up making the wreath as well? It worked well as a foil for leftover stuffing! :)

      
      
      • on December 27, 2011 at 12:32 pm heidi

        I made it today for Boxing day- didn’t get a chance to take a picture- it disappeared before I could find my camera!
        Filled it with apples, cinnamon, cardamom and pecans- it was delicious!

    What gorgeous bread indeed! I’m not a huge Dr fan sorry, my big sister used to love it, but whenever she made me watch it with her I’d get terrible nightmares:( maybe it’s time to face my fears- after all, I do envy him his TARDIS!

    
    
    • on December 27, 2011 at 2:37 pm Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      I always wanted TARDIS luggage, like Celi… ;-)

    My husband & I are also dr. Who fans! We watch it on the BBC!
