We welcomed the new year with nasty colds! I was too ill go to a party and Peter went and came home early and we were asleep as the new year came in. Never mind, I don't think it will bring bad luck...
We had a great Christmas. Every bedroom in the house was used and for several days there were nine of us, with everyone helping with the cooking and with amusing the Abe and Saul. We hadn't had the chance to do any preparation so the catering was something of a marathon. The dishwasher worked overtime! It was all such a whirl that I kept forgetting to take photographs - for example of the magnificent Black Norfolk turkey and of the boys opening their presents and the smartie covered birthday cake for Nancy that the boys helped to make. But here are some reminders of the good time that we had.
