Phew...

and so the holidays are at an end. We miss those who could not be here for Christmas with us and send thoughts of love and sunshine to our friends up north from here. We are happy to have had lovely visits from Grumpy ( yes, of broiled tonkey fame), The Admiral, Dr John and the Mac Annie. The tree is down, the goodies are nearly eaten and the children are back in bed at 7.30pm!

the puzzle - still being worked on...
