That must have been the warmest Christmas for years, t-shirts on and heating off for most of the day.
Biggles Ginger and Cinders had their Christmas lunch early (9.30 am) to give us time to prepare ours after a lovely walk in the woods.
Our Norfolk Bronze 15lb'er had been in the Aga from 01:00 hrs so was happily resting when we went out and G&C were quite content with an old-fashioned Grandma style Christmas dinner in contrast to last year in Sydney when Martin decided he had to pop out for ramekins on Christmas Morning; well why not when every-thing is open down-town.
I must admit that to me, the appeal of a Northern European Christmas is the gloom, and having to have everything in:- logs booze pressies and all the trimmings and a bit of ol'Morecambe and Wise on the telly ...loverly!
Washing up done now feet up and the wood fire on as the temperature begins to drop back to a seasonal normal.
Will Gemma and Clive have headed back to Oxford after a trip to Brighton.
Love to you all and a Happy New Year one and all

We lied in till late morning and even had spag Bol for lunch! Then again the last two weeks were Christmas day after Christmas day for us. I did put the carols on though.
