A lovely time!

Christmas was simply delightful! We spent Christmas Day with my daughter, her husband Ben and their children, Meg and Toby. The Christmas lunch was superb! (I’m very lucky that both of my children can cook!)

And to be in the company of the grandchildren was even more delightful!

Anyone who was reading my blog, back in 2011, might remember this. Well…

Meg, now almost 14 years old; she has grown into such a lovely young lady and she is someone with whom you can have a good conversation! She’s very creative (like her mum) and at school she loves English, History and Art. She knows what she wants to do with her life and she works exceedingly hard. 

Meg’s brother, Toby, is almost 12 years old; he’s such a lovely lad! He’s a maths whizz and into all things techy. He’s very kind and is particularly good with the youngest and noisiest member of the family…his cousin William.

On 27th, we all got together at Nich’s house on 27th for lunch.. and games!

Talking of games, on Christmas Day, after lunch, my daughter gave us each a hand made cracker and inside these crackers were jigsaw puzzles, made by her, that we had to make…here is my other half concentrating so hard…

Moving on…the Christmas viewing!

I really enjoyed the carols from King’s College, Cambridge, on Christmas Eve…

And I thought that Gavin and Stacey was excellent! It certainly pulled at the heartstrings!

We’ve been watching another series with Ruth Jones, ‘Stella’, which we missed the first time around but it is well worth watching!

Wallace and Gromit - Vengeance most fowl, was superb! Nick Park is a genius! 

There is still plenty to watch. I’ve recorded a number of programmes and then of course there is the Christmas University Challenge series, that you’d think would be easier than the usual programmes but in fact, they are almost as difficult! 

And my other half likes to watch The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, (BBC4, 29th, 30th, 31st). This year, these lectures are all about what happens in our bodies when we eat!

I dread to think what is going on in mine right now as I think I’ve over indulged a little! 

I hope that everyone has had a good time!
