A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Happy Christmas everybody.

This Holy morn has arrived and it is important to remember the reason we have this holiday. It is a time of peace, and of harmony; a time of Hope and of generosity; a time to remember the birth of a child who was to change history, and save mankind. At a time when the world seems to be torn apart by religious differences, it is a time to remember that He taught us love and tolerance, and to love our enemies. (Even Project Office Trolls).

It is glorious morning, with pink fluffy clouds carefully strewn across a pale blue sky. The sun is climbing in east, and shining its spotlight across the Gorse.

Spoke to Cousteau-cub, first thing, before she went to bed for the day. At the end of her long night shift she was settling down to a glass of red wine and a Terry's Chocolate Orange.

Today we are visiting D'ankle and family up in Bkhm. We had a lovely drive up, interrupted by a further call from Cousteau-cub to serenade us with carols for the journey. Urban-cub also called to wish us a Happy Christmas. She was still finding things difficult because of her back pain, but was determined to make the most of the day.

At Bkhm all was well. Auntie P was there for the day and seemed to cope with the chaos really well, though she did have a couple of moments where she got confused. As usual Denise put on a super spread for lunch, which we all tucked into with relish. The girls were on good form and overall it was a lovely day.

We drove home through the early evening and then, sitting down with a glass of wine, we opened our own presents for a lovely end to a special day.
