OK, the bed is fixed. The turkey is brining in a bucket in the garden covered with foil and a tray weighed down with bricks so the foxes can't get to it. The house is tidy. The loft is reasonably sorted, the laundry is drying and the fridge is full. I think we're ready for Christmas.
Last Saturday we had a lunch here with some of Toby's friends from school and their families. I really like both families and we had a great time. Another family around the corner was having drinks at 6pm so we opened a couple more bottles of wine and our lunch stretched into the evening then we all staggered over to Candy's for drinks and canapes. I love our new neighborhood. The children had a brilliant time playing all day at our place then running around Solar's garden in the dark while we talked and laughed. It reminded me of times I spent with my cousins.
New Year's eve will be similiar. Jenny & Kieran are coming down from Cambridge with Jack & Kate and Pete & Philippa are coming all the way from three doors down with Joey. Jason has aleady stocked up on champagne and I'm thinking of doing lobster. We've decided to dress up, because we never get to do that, and I'm going to get all kinds of finger food for the children. I don't think we'll even try to get them to bed. Not sure Rosie will make it to midnight but I bet Toby does.

Sounds like it will be a fun one though!
Mine will be quiet as most of my family are on holidays in the US...with all the snow, while I am melting in 31 degrees!!
Have a great Christmas ;-)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
